About SEAT

Serving Southeastern Connecticut since 1975.

SEAT is a transit district, created by local towns in New London county as authorized by the General Statues of CT (Chapter 103A).  Although primarily relying on State funds, SEAT is a local government agency not a State agency.  SEAT’s member towns are:  East Lyme, Griswold, Groton, Lisbon, Montville, New London, Norwich, Stonington and Waterford.  Each member town appoints one or two board members (based upon population) to represent them on the SEAT Board of Directors.  The Board sets general policy and budgets for the District.
