Efficiency in Transportation - Community and State Transportation Efficiency Planning in Vermont

This report summarizes state plans and local community planning efforts related very broadly to energy efficiency and transportation. This report also includes interview summaries with some Vermont planners and citizens engaged in transportation and efficiency related efforts. The purpose of this report broadly was to summarize this background for more focused additional research

Efficiency in Transportation - Optimal Transit Networks For Vermont

In previous work, TRC researchers surveyed transportation-system efficiency measures, trends in Vermont, and policy & education strategies that might encourage increased transportation-system efficiencies. In this report, researchers focus on investigating the relationships between (1) Rideshare lots and fixed-route transit routes for the state, (2) An idealized fixed-route transit network and the existing fixed-route transit routes in the state. The intent is to identify relationships that will help planners strategically recommend new transit routes, site future rideshare lots, and explain under-utilization of existing services
