This report details the school-year focus on Vermont schools and overall results of the 2019/2020 Way to Go! program, outreach and marketing efforts, program results and winners, challenges to changing transportation behaviors, and lessons to consider.

The Riverside Village area of Jericho includes a mix of residential and business uses. Pedestrian improvements have been made along the west side Vermont Route 15, but the east side remains the missing link to safe pedestrian travel to destinations on the east side of the road. This study evaluates alternates for making this important connection.

In collaboration with the CCRPC, the Town of Richmond, and the Richmond community, the Bridge Street Complete Streets Corridor Study was conducted to identify and prioritize multimodal improvements along the Bridge Street corridor.

The three contiguous communities of Cambridge, Underhill, and Jericho are seeking to develop a comprehensive “alternative” transportation system (i.e. one that does not rely heavily on single-occupancy auto) to serve their residents. This area has come to be called the “Tri-Town” area. The purpose of this study is to examine the range of possibilities for accomplishing this including various modes and services, organizational and administrative structures, and funding. It is intended that the results be relevant not only to the Tri-Town area but also for other rural portions of the GMT region.

The Town of Huntington with assistance from the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) evaluated the current condition of Town bridges and culverts, and developed an infrastructure improvement plan.  The purpose of this plan is to develop a planning tool for the Town to maintain an overall satisfactory/or better transportation network by repairing, replacing or preserving infrastructure on a programmed schedule, and increase condition ratings of structures and to inform the annual municipal budget for bridges and culverts maintenance.

On behalf of Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the City of Burlington (City), Stone Environmental, Inc. (Stone) has completed the Right of Way Condition Inventory for Stormwater Management within Burlington Wards 5 and 6. A summary of the inventory and tasks completed are described below. Data from the project is in two web maps Soil Boring Status Map and BTV Soil and Utility ROW Assessment Map. These two maps can be accessed by viewing the embedded links in the paragraph titled 1. Introduction.

This report details CarShare Vermont’s key findings and recommendations for effectively integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into shared fleets following a research-turned-pilot project. CCRPC funding supported research and planning, then CarShare Vermont self-funded a project to pilot our first EV with in-kind support from the Burlington Electric Department. The report provides more than 12 months of data about how the EV was used and by whom, its environmental impacts, and the financial and operational implications of converting to an electric fleet, as well as our recommendations for policies that will better support the integration of EVs into carsharing systems.

This traffic calming assessment evaluated the town's efforts to lower prevailing traffic speeds along North Williston Road. Many of the town's actions were born out of the North Williston Road Scoping Study (2018) which can also be found in our studies and reports database.

This study builds upon a previous study completed in May 2018, "I-89 Exit 14 Alternative Transportation Crossing Study", and provides a more detailed evaluation of the preferred alternative which is a new bike/pedestrian structure across I-89 near Exit 14.

The safety review presented in this report includes two roadways in Underhill, VT being considered as designated bicycle routes. These roadways are the entire length of Irish Settlement Road and a segment of Pleasant Valley Road. These two roads serve as potential bicycle route connections between Underhill Center and Vermont Route 15 in Cambridge, VT, a popular cycling route in the state.
