Hello friends and neighbors throughout the town of Calais,
The Calais Transportation Group, which has been meeting for several months now -- and which would welcome anyone of you who wants to be part of the planning (we have a good time) -- has learned that getting an affordable bus route from Calais to Montpelier is a multi-year process in cooperation with the Green Mountain Transit Authority.
It seems likely that the first bus route would be down Route 14. Hopefully we can get another bus or van for County Road. But that's all several years away.
To make this happen, we need lots of enthusiastic Calais folk. First step, come to a special potluck at the Maple Corner Community Center on Thursday, March 12th, 6:30 PM. Tawnya Kristen, from GMTA, will be there to fill us all in on the process. A large turnout -- this means YOU! -- will a) show GMTA that Calais is a good choice for a bus and b) help build the support we need town-wide to make this happen.
I'm just learning about all this myself, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
And please join us on March 12th!
