The Northwestern Connecticut Transit District (NWCTD) is an agency that provides local service in Litchfield County, Connecticut.

The system, named The Candystriper Bus System, operates four regular routes and one Saturday-only route.[1] It is operated directly by the District after the failure of their contractor, Kelley Transit.[2] It also offers dial-a-ride service.
