The Regional Transportation Options Plan, also known as a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, serves as a guiding framework for Chittenden County to enhance transit services, strengthen bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and introduce and expand effective shared mobility solutions. These objectives are critical to reducing the region’s high reliance on single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs), curbing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and meeting sustainability, equity, housing, and climate-related goals of the region. The Regional TDM Plan includes recommended actions, lead and partner entities, and proposed timeline for implementation.

Pearl Street (Vermont Route 15 ), between Susie Wilson Road and West Street Extension in the City of Essex Junction, is a high-volume car-oriented corridor with no dedicated accommodation for bicycles and no eastbound public transit facilities. Recent improvements have been made to bicycle and pedestrian facilities at both ends of this corridor. Improvements to this 2300-foot-long segment of VT 15 will link these facilities and create a continuous multi-modal transportation corridor from Lime Kiln Road in Colchester to downtown Essex Junction. This is a supplemental scoping study to update the 2018 VT Route 15 Bicycle/Pedestrian Scoping Study.

The City of South Burlington's Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a comprehensive plan detailing the vision, goals, and strategic recommendations designed to advance active transportation across South Burlington. Leveraging insights gained from previous studies, extensive community input, and an in-depth planning process, the ATP focuses on prioritizing and implementing infrastructure and initiatives to create safer and more accessible transportation options for everyone.

The Richmond Gateway Scoping Study is part of a multi-year Town effort to improve infrastructure within Richmond’s western gateway area. The study investigates possible biking, walking, and other active transportation links between Richmond Village center, the Richmond Elementary School and Camels Hump Middle School campus, the Riverview Commons neighborhood, and the Exit 11 Park and Ride. This study complements the 2014 Route 2 Bicycle and Pedestrian Scoping Report, which examined a similar study area.

With the upcoming construction of the I-89 Exit 14 bicycle-pedestrian bridge in South Burlington, a major impediment to active transportation in the Chittenden County region will be addressed. However, the bridge project is limited to only the bridge and landings and does not include connections to existing and planned active transportation infrastructure. The City of South Burlington initiated the Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over I-89 Connections project to identify priority improvements to connect people and places in the areas surrounding the I-89 bridge. Due to other concurrent studies that addressed most locations in this project, the study concluded by offering conceptual recommendations for further consideration at two sites: Williston Road: Interchange to Jughandle and Quarry Hill/Spear Intersection.

The Amtrak station in Burlington will be best served by establishing connections to a multitude of transportation options, as well as other services and amenities in the immediate area. This study evaluates opportunities for multimodal connections to the station and addresses gaps and barriers to accessing these connections to better serve potential Amtrak users and foster seamless connections to area amenities and services.

This is the second year of Park Your CARbon, an updated and re-imagined version of the previous Way to Go! Challenge.
