Press Conference
Friday, April 17, 2026 at 3:30 PM
A press conference will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026 at 3:30 PM at the GBT Bus Station, 710 Water Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut. GBT CEO Steven DeMichele, State Representative Christopher Rosario, and other state legislators will address the press regarding the future of bus service in the Greater Bridgeport Region.
30% Service Cuts
As GBT exhausts the federal pandemic relief funding that currently supports its operations, a substantial budget shortfall is projected in FY 2027 (beginning July 1, 2026). This budget gap will hamper GBT’s ability to maintain its full scope of services.
GBT is currently planning service cuts. To get more information about these cuts, please gogbt.com.
”“It is critical that new, sustainable and adequate funding be allocated to GBT to preserve current transit services.”
―Steven DeMichele, GBT CEO
