Improving Economic Health

With the average annual cost of owning/operating a car in Vermont rising above $7,500, greater pressure has been placed on household budgets to ensure access to transportation. In our service area, the cost of owning and operating a vehicle is more expensive than owning a home!

TVT’s bus system provides rides to and/or from work, school, shopping places and town centers.

Improving Social Health

With 25% of our population at risk of being transit-dependent and the rural nature of our state, the potential for being hidden at home increases. Transit-dependent members of our community are prone to rural isolation which has significant impact on their well-being.

TVT’s Bus and Dial-a-Ride systems provide rides to medical appointments, meal sites, nursing/retirement homes, recreational and social service destinations.

Improving Environmental Health

Most of the travel in our region is done in cars, and most of that is done alone.

Riding the bus helps our region produce less greenhouse gases, better water quality, and improved health while still enjoying access to jobs, goods and services.
