Windham Region Transit District, or WRTD, is a bus operator for Windham County, with NECTD, SEAT, UConn Transportation Services in neighboring towns. Prior to August 2019, The company operated four routes in total, connecting with a small handful of other operators, such as UConn Transportation Services in Mansfield, SEAT in Norwich,[1] and NECTD in Brooklyn, Connecticut. Because of the small collection of routes, they have approximately ten fixed route buses, with some Paratransit vehicles. Beginning August 14, 2017, WRTD provided connections to CTtransit in Mansfield Storrs with the 913 Express route to Hartford, Connecticut. WRTD also provides Dial-A-Ride within their nine-town district (Ashford, Chaplin, Columbia, Coventry, Lebanon, Mansfield, Scotland, Willington and Windham. ADA Paratransit is provided for areas within 3/4 mile of WRTD's Local Routes.
