Keep Vermont Moving: Fund Public Transit

Vermont’s public transit system is at a breaking point, with rising costs, growing needs, and insufficient funding forcing service cuts that hit hardest for Vermonters who have the fewest transportation options. Whether taking the bus across town or a shared ride system to the doctor, transit is essential in communities large and small - yet without dedicated, sustainable funding, our local economy and communities will be stuck in place. 

Failing to stabilize transit affects everyone. Businesses struggle to find workers. Communities lose residents - especially younger people - who want to live in a more accessible, affordable place. Older Vermonters lose independence and risk social isolation. Families face higher costs. Traffic increases, putting more pressure on already strained infrastructure.

We cannot wait for more services to be cut. Vermont needs a strong transit system that gives everyone the freedom to get to where they need to go, strengthens our workforce and economy, and helps communities thrive.

I stand with Vermont’s public transit system and the Vermonters who depend on it, and call on our leaders to provide the dedicated, sustainable funding needed to keep Vermont moving.
