When
transit is not available, JobLinks will subsidize Easy Street
vanpools for employment opportunities. Currently available
in the Northwest region are two vanpools, both out of Waterbury.
They go to Naugatuck Industrial Park and to Federal Business
in Torrington.

Easy
Street® is a statewide commuter van service sponsored
by The Connecticut Department of Transportation. Designed
to help people who live or work in Connecticut get to their
jobs, Easy Street® offers over 300 routes daily transporting
3,000 riders. Easy Street® benefits riders and non-riders.
The
Easy Street® fleet is made up of 7-passenger minivans
as well as 12 and 15-passenger full-size vans. Fares are
per seat, payable at the beginning of each month.
Currently
with over 300 routes across the state, Easy Street®
may have a route to meet your needs. If not, consider creating
a route of your own. It’s easy to do that too. Starting
an Easy Street® minivan requires a driver and five full-time
riders. A 12-passenger van requires a driver and eight full-time
riders. Drivers of full-size vans ride free and enjoy 140
free miles monthly. While drivers of minivans pay the same
fare as the riders, they enjoy 250 free miles monthly. That
adds up to 3,000 miles annually.
Vans
are fully insured. Gasoline and maintenance are included,
too. Want to know more? Call us toll-free at 1-800-972-3279
