A project scoping study for a new interstate off-ramp and an intermodal intercept parking facility at Exit 14 in South Burlington. This location lies at the point of highest daily traffic in Chittenden County and the State.  It has the potential to serve bus transit as well as become a shuttle terminal for downtown Burlington, the University of Vermont, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Champlain College, Burlington International Airport and other South Burlington commercial and retail businesses.

In April, 2003 the CCMPO formed a Task Force to begin implementing the recommendations of several public transportation studies commissioned by CCMPO, CCTA, and the State of Vermont over the past five years.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the managerial capability and financial capacity of the remaining rural transit providers to determine whether any of these systems are at risk of failing and to identify policy changes and technical assistance that should be provided to improve managerial capability and financial capacity.

In late 1999, Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU), the Town of Hinesburg, and other interested parties initiated a project to explore the potential for integrating public transit and student transit in the CVU School District. This study was undertaken to determine what problems currently exist with public and student transit in the District and to identify issues and opportunities for solving these problems by fully or partially integrating student and new public transit services.

The CCTA Systems Plan and Operational Analysis is intended to redesign the transit system and the Transit Funding Alternatives Analysis explored the alternative funding mechanisms to generate the funds to support the new design. This report summarizes both the systems plan and funding alternatives. These projects explored a vision of what services CCTA would need to operate to optimize efficiency and effectiveness.

This report examines the background of this issue and identifies the myriad methods used by other states and local governments around the nation to finance public transportation. The pros and cons of employing these methods in Vermont are also examined.

This report presents general guidelines and recommendations for efficient location and design of bus stops. A literature search and field survey of CCTA bus stops was used to develop this summary of recommended practices and procedures.
