CarShare VT worked on two core tasks designed to advance long-term behavior change and reduce dependence on personal vehicles: (1) Planning and evaluation activities focused on assessing programs and services to identify optimal locations for CarShare VT’s shared vehicles and maximize participation among Burlington area residents. These efforts also included planning activities that supported local and regional transportation demand management (TDM) initiatives and advanced the goals of existing state, municipal, and regional transportation plans; (2) Outreach and education activities built upon CarShare VT’s FY25 UPWP-funded market research, which identified key opportunities and barriers to carsharing adoption. Efforts during FY26 focused on increasing public awareness and understanding of carsharing, with the goals of expanding membership, improving member retention, and encouraging greater use of shared mobility options.

The I-89 Exit 14 Scoping Study evaluated improvements to the Exit 14 interchange area in South Burlington. The interchange area includes four signalized intersections along US 2 Williston Road between Staples Plaza to the west and Dorset Street to the east. The study builds on the preliminary interchange evaluation conducted as part of the I-89 2050 Study. The purpose of the scoping study was to refine previously identified alternatives; investigate other options to address safety, connectivity, and other multimodal issues in the study area; and to engage stakeholders and the public in a process to identify locally preferred alternatives for future improvements.

The Town of Milton’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a comprehensive plan detailing the vision, goals, and strategic recommendations designed to advance active transportation across Milton. The vision and goals helped to establish a framework for reviewing and integrating previously identified projects and initiatives with newly defined projects and initiatives to recommend and prioritize for implementation within this plan. The overarching goal of the ATP is to create a blueprint for establishing, expanding, and enhancing active transportation in Milton.

This project focused on inspection of existing storm drainage infrastructure and development of an asset management database of the assessed system.  Data and information generated by this effort could be used to create a stormwater infrastructure replacement plan.  Phase I was completed in FY21, Phase II in FY23,and Phase III in FY23.  Phase IV began in FY25 and was completed in FY26.  The findings will be used to schedule implementation of pipe repairs, lining, or replacement.

The Town of Essex, in partnership with the CCRPC, conducted a full transportation study within the Saxon Hill Industrial Park (SHIP) and residential neighborhood of Lower Sand Hill Road. The study documented and investigated public input related to traffic operation, safety, and quality of life impacts due to industrial truck traffic. The study analyzed truck traffic and other transportation patterns related to commercial/industrial uses located on Allen Martin Drive, Corporate Drive, Thompson Drive and Sand Hill Road; identified potential impacts of existing and future truck traffic to the residential neighborhood of Lower Sand Hill Road and project area roadway network; and developed recommendations to mitigate these impacts.

The ATP focuses on prioritizing and implementing infrastructure and initiatives to create a safe, desirable and connected network for biking and walking in the Town.

This report contains an intersection scoping study of US 2 and Clay Point Road in Colchester, VT. The Appendices can be found in a separate entry and contain one of the first applications of the VTrans Intersection Control Evaluation process. The project was overseen by an Advisory Group consisting of representatives from CCRPC, Town of Colchester, Northwest RPC, and VTrans.

CCRPC worked with the City of Essex Junction and consultant Hoyle Tanner to evaluate one to two locations for crosswalks along Pearl Street through the City. The potential crosswalk(s) would be located on Pearl Street (State Route 15) between Warner Avenue and Weston Way, a half mile stretch that does not currently have a crosswalk and is designated as a Class 1 Town Highway. The study includes conceptual plans and cost estimates for two alternatives at each of the chosen locations.​
