Of the 45,000 public road lane miles in Connecticut, 35,000 or 78% are maintained by local municipal agencies. Yearly, approximately 50% of fatal and serious injury crashes occur on these local roadways. To make significant progress in reducing the number of serious injuries and fatalities in Connecticut, the safety along local roadways needs to improve.

The Connecticut Safety Circuit Rider (SCR) program is designed to provide safety-related information, training, and direct technical assistance to agencies responsible for local roadway safety.

The SCR program is available at no cost to all municipalities in Connecticut. Services provided through the program include:

A strong partnership between the CT SCR program and the Connecticut Transportation Safety Research Center (CTSRC) enables local agencies to access accurate information to make informed roadway safety decisions. The SCR provides assistance to local agencies in understanding the capabilities of the CT Crash Data Repository.
