This study serves as a next step in the planning process for Guilford Town Center South (TCS) – an area around the Guilford train station that the Town has designated for a future, mixed-use, transit-oriented neighborhood. This study builds upon the previous work of the TCS Planning Committee by evaluating and addressing the potential future traffic impacts associated with the planned TCS developments and increased ridership from the Guilford train station.
This report highlights the major activities of the South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) during the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
The purpose of this study was to develop a traffic calming plan for East Brown Street to address residents’ concerns related to cut-through traffic and high speeds. This study was conducted as a follow up to the Regional Traffic Calming Study completed by SCRCOG in 2008.
This report reviewed bicycle and pedestrian circulation in the downtown, as defined by the historic Nine Squares. The objective of this project was to develop a short, medium, and long term plan to make bicycling and walking safer, easier, and more accessible as a transportation alternative in downtown New Haven.
Completed in cooperation with CDOT, this study evaluated safety deficiencies and improvement opportunities for interchanges within the Region between Milford and Meriden. This includes a needs assessment study report, which utilized and built upon previous SCRCOG and CDOT studies. Additionally, there is an analysis of existing conditions, future no-build conditions, and viable conceptual safety and operational improvement alternatives for future implementation and construction. The Region’s TransCAD model was updated as part of this study. Please note that this is a large file (about 80 MB) and may take an extended time to download.
On August 13, 2008 R.S Lynch & Company, Inc was engaged by the South Central Regional Council of Governments to Identify and evaluate future solid waste management options for SCRCOG’s 15 member towns.
This 2010 Congestion Management Process (CMP) report represents a continuation of the South Central Regional Council of Governments’ (SCRCOG) effort to better understand the transportation system in the South Central Connecticut region.
This study evaluated options for construction of the Shoreline Greenway Trail from the New Haven-East Haven Town Line to Hammonasset State Park in Madison. Recommended options were presented along with cost estimates to assist the communities in selecting sections for further consideration and/or construction. Note: this file is very large (over 300 MB) and may not be viewable in your web browser.

The I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program is one of Connecticut’s largest multi-modal transportation improvement initiatives. The program includes operational, safety and capacity improvements to over 7 miles of Interstate 95, including a new signature bridge over New Haven Harbor. In addition to new and upgraded Shore Line East commuter rail stations, there are numerous Transit and Transportation System Management (TSM) components included as part of the program. This report summarizes the current status of the implementation of the Transit and TSM components. A copy is available for 2008 and 2007.
This study focused on safety, traffic operations and strategies to reduce congestion and minimize delays. The Study Area encompasses Connecticut Route 68 (Church Street) in the Town of Wallingford from Hanover Street, on the west, to North Main Street Extension, on the east.
The purpose of the Regional Build-Out Analysis is to provide congestion management and planning tools to assist SCRCOG and its member municipalities in planning for future growth. The analysis provides data on the potential impacts from future development on major corridors throughout the region.
This report includes a comprehensive inventory and review of the 64 City owned and maintained traffic signals in Meriden. Existing signal equipment and intersection elements such as pedestrian and vehicular signal heads, cabinets, controller hardware, signage, and pavement markings were reviewed at each location for consistency with current State standards and National standards as published in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Allen Avenue, Johnson Avenue and Preston Avenue are three streets in the City with very similar conditions. All of these streets lack storm drainage and have deficiencies in their vertical and horizontal alignments. This study makes recommendations for improvements to the three identified roadways to alleviate current safety hazards.

This study presents recommendations for improving the corridor with respect to both transportation functions and the contextual relationship with adjoining neighborhoods.
This report documents the latest update to SCRCOG’s Travel Demand Model, performed in June 2010, with a base year of 2010 and future year no-build model for 2040.
This report highlights the major activities of the South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) during the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
This project focused on acquiring and collating data in preparation for an update of the Transit portion of the Region’s TransCAD model. The data created as a result of this project is available here.
This study reviewed the current modal split for transportation demand in downtown area. Data was gathered data from existing sources and previous estimates of modal split for several representative types of development (residential, commercial, institutional) were reviewed in order to provide a framework for better review and confirmation of projected volume/transportation demand as development emerges.
