(New Haven, CT) - The free shuttle service that provides a direct link
between Union Station and Downtown New Haven will also be provided on
weekends for the duration of the International Festival of Arts and
Ideas, through June 29th.

Typically used by commuters on weekdays, the free shuttle service is
provided as a courtesy by Connecticut Transit. City of New Haven
Director of Transportation, Traffic and Parking, Jim Travers, said that
this is the first time in the free shuttle’s nearly three year history
that service has been offered on weekends. “I am thrilled that, due to
the support of Connecticut Transit, an easy and direct route between the
train station and Downtown New Haven will be offered to
festival-goers,” said Travers.

The weekend schedule for the free shuttle will be from 11am to 11pm on
Saturdays and 11am to 10pm on Sundays. The shuttle route runs from
Union Station on Union Avenue, up North Frontage Road, Orange Street,
Church Street, Chapel Street (the New Haven Green), Temple Street,
George Street and State Street. It then heads back on Union Avenue to
Union Station.

During the week, the shuttle runs from 6:15 am to 9:55 pm. The weekday
