On 8/18, heavy rainstorms caused major flooding. As a precaution, Ansonia and Derby activated their "Local Protection" systems, including the closure of 4 swing-style gates on the WBL These gates shield the cities from the rising waters of the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers.

Tom Broderick Waterbury line was doing great. We've all seen post-pandemic how fragile transit ridership is though. People do it out of habit, and I assume many of these people have decided to drive vs take replacement buses. They're not going to want to leave their cars now

The Waterbury branch ended 2026 147.40% higher than their pre-COVID numbers & 33.4% higher than their ridership numbers from 2025. Both numbers exceed all other branches & lines by a wide margin. That’s what happens when you increase service. Steady service builds ridership.
