The monthly pass from BPORT is $336.


Check with your employer in NYC if they offer TransitChek.

CT offers this program:
Commuter Tax Benefit

Don't drive to Waterbury, either take the train from Seymour or a station further south on route 8 (Brideport being the best option). The Metro-North website says you can call 203-881-7600 for info on parking at the Seymour Station.

OK to be clear~ I've said it before ~ Now I'm not giving out our our address, but if you choose to come here ~ welcome to the neighborhood.

My nephew had the pm kindergarten last year (in Seymour kindergarten is 1/2 day ~ either am or pm) and had to sit on the bus 45 mins until his class started. My in-laws drove him to school after just a few days of that. The normal school bus hours are right before & after school.

Skokorat itself is a busy road!!!!!! Rolling Hills is trying to get out of their deal with the town. They want to switch phase 2 of their development from 52 more single family homes on .4acres +/- each into 360 townhouse condos in huge strip buildings. The board of selectmen has vowed to stop this at all costs. The road can NOT handle the volume of cars. Many older homes on Skokorat have very small lots; to widen the road would be to bring the street right to many homes front doors!!! Not at all feasible!
Also, kids walk to school on Skokorat. Much of Skokorat does not have sidewalks or crosswalks. Skokorat is already a cut through from Seymour to Beacon Falls. Adding the 700 +/- cars that a potential 360 condos could bring would devestate this neighborhood. Especially if they went in and out more than once per day. And the existing homes in Phase 1 of Rolling Hills would be on roads that would become cut throughs roads to the Phase 2 condos. Speeding is already a problem, we don't want to see it get worse.

If they don't break their deal - Then wow. Yes - Rolling Hills is beautiful.
Skokorat and all the surrounding streets are great neighborhoods. Kids Play. Neighbors talk, walk, ride bikes, push strollers, mow lawns, plant flowers, it is great

Not to mention how Route 67 would be affected by this. I have seen the back-up in that area during rush hour at that intersection and it does not look fun. Adding even half of your suggested 700 cars would make Seymour a traffic nightmare.
