FAQ
Why does Addison County need the Community Transportation Center?
The efficiencies of a dedicated facility will enable ACTR to meet the future community transportation needs of Addison County caused by an aging population, rising fuel prices and tough economic times.
How will the Center benefit the community?
* Expand bus routes and emergency-responsiveness.
* Create better economic development opportunities.
* Offer more options for workers unable to afford a car.
* Reduce local parking requirements and the related cost.
* Generate other transporation options (CarShare, Bike/Ped, etc.)
* Provide more leadership in greenhouse gas reduction.
* Create more efficient and cost-effective transit operations.
How will the Center help ACTR achieve those outcomes?
* Bus maintenance, wash and indoor storage (currently none).
* Meeting and training space (currently insufficient).
* Central office and dispatch center (currently insufficient).
* Neighborhood transit stop and commuter park & ride (currently no park & ride).
How will the Center be paid for?
ACTR has secured a $2.85 million federal grant, with the help of Senator Patrick Leahy, and access to 4 acres of land from the Vermont Agency of Transportation. ACTR is now raising the required local match ($750,000) through foundations, institutions, businesses and private donors.
