Green Mountain Transit is approximately halfway through its Comprehensive Service Analysis (CSA) also known as the GMT NextGen Transit Plan. The goal of GMT’s work is to improve service throughout its service area, which includes the greater Burlington, Montpelier, Barre, Stowe, Mad River Valley, and St. Albans regions. The plan consists of a number of elements, all of which are designed to ensure that GMT provides the best service possible. This effort includes:
* · Interviews and meetings with a wide variety of stakeholders throughout the region to ensure the needs and desires of existing riders and potential riders are considered.
* · A market analysis designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying demand for transit throughout the service area.
* · A detailed evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of every route in the GMT system.
* · The identification of potential service improvements.
* · A technical analysis of the ridership and other impacts of proposed changes, and the vetting of the potential changes with stakeholders.
* · The development and implementation of service changes.
These changes will be designed to improve service for existing riders, and attract new riders to transit. Some of the most important goals of this work include:
* · making transit more convenient and accessible;
* · connecting people to life’s activities (work, school, medical care, etc.);
* · improving people’s quality of life; and,
* · providing service in a financially and environmentally sustainable manner.
On December 12th at 6 pm there will be a public meeting at North Hero Community Hall to discuss the potential changes to the Alburgh to Georgia route and discuss future public transit needs in Grand Isle County.
