Purpose of the Study

The Vermont Agency of Transportation, the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (acting as project manager), and the five Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs) along western Vermont partnered in an effort to develop a multimodal Transportation Management Plan for the western corridor, spanning from the Massachusetts to the Canadian border. The five Regional Planning Commission partners are Addison County RPC, Bennington County RC, Chittenden County RPC, Northwest RPC, and Rutland RPC.

Development of a multimodal Plan was deemed necessary by the state and its regional partners, to determine the most effective ways to improve the infrastructure and operations as well as maximize the efficiencies of the transportation system in western Vermont thus improving the economic opportunities of the region.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate transportation, land use and related conditions and create a Transportation Management Plan that presents a unified, long-term vision for managing and improving the transportation network in western Vermont. As an initial effort to coordinate planning over a vast study area, the plan presents a broad vision and a framework for transportation improvements, investment policies and strategies.
