People concerned over proposed cuts that would limit transit options have submitted petitions in the hope of seeing those cuts reversed.
The ATU Connecticut Legislative Council presented state Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, with nearly 4,000 signatures from people across the state who signed petitions opposing cuts to bus and rail service.
Southeast Area Transit District and other transit districts have been notified that they could get a 15 percent cut in state funding starting July 1, while rail branch lines like Shore Line East could see a 50 percent cut, unless the state distributes more transportation aid.
