About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the MTG bond actually covers

Connecticut’s Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA), within CTDOT, reviews developments that generate large volumes of traffic — typically big retail, commercial, or mixed-use projects. Before such a development opens, it needs an OSTA certificate under CGS § 14-311 confirming its traffic impacts are addressed.

That certificate usually conditions approval on off-site traffic improvements — new signals, turn lanes, signage, or road work to handle the traffic the project will draw. OSTA can require a surety bond guaranteeing those improvements actually get built.

The bond is a completion guarantee running to the State of Connecticut: if the developer doesn’t finish the required improvements, the state can recover against the bond to get them done. The amount is set on the certificate, tied to the improvement cost — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

CGS § 14-311 (OSTA certificate)Connecticut General Statutes § 14-311 requires a person developing or substantially expanding a use that may generate significant traffic to obtain a certificate from the Office of the State Traffic Administration (within CTDOT) before opening. OSTA can condition the certificate on off-site traffic improvements and require security, including a surety bond, to guarantee they are completed; the amount is set on the certificate based on the improvement cost.
