Vermont Western Corridor
Transportation Management Plan
from Bennington to the Border
Overview
The Vermont Agency of Transportation, the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (project manager), and the five Regional Planning Commissions along western Vermont are partnering in an effort to develop a multimodal Transportation Management Plan (Plan) for Western Vermont. The Plan's mission is to create “a unified long term vision for the highways and rail corridors in western Vermont and the development of balanced, environmentally responsible strategies that maximize system efficiencies, improve quality of life and promote economic vitality in the region.”
The Plan will address highway and rail modes of travel for passenger and freight as well as public transportation (rail and bus), air, bicycle and pedestrian modes, where appropriate. Its study area extends from the Massachusetts state line to the Canadian border.
