Bicycle engineer Keith Bontrager once said about bicycle componentry: "Cheap, light, strong: pick two." When it comes to traffic calming and walk/bike/roll infrastructure in general, you might say that a similar maxim applies: "Cheap, effective, low maintenance: pick two."

In this webinar, we'll look at lower-cost infrastructure that can be used to slow car speeds and make rapid, effective improvements for walking, biking, and rolling. This will include some ideas for more rural streets and roads. We might even find one or two ideas where you get to "pick all three."

T4VT invites you to "Ride the Bus to the State House Day" in honor of Earth Day

T4VT members will be heading into the Capitol City at the following locations, ready to chat about transportation in Vermont:

• GMT #86 Montpelier Link Express

  • 7:00AM from Burlington Downtown Transit Center → 7:25AM from Richmond P&R

• GMT #83 Waterbury Commuter

  • 7:15AM from Waterbury Train Station → 7:25AM from Red Hen Middlesex

If you live in/near the following locations, you can also explore:

• GMT #93 - Northfield

• RCT US2 Commuter - St. Johnsbury, Marshfield, Plainfield, East Montpelier

• GMT MyRide - Montpelier & Berlin

• Go! Vermont has everything you need

Ride the Bus to the State House Day is a low-commitment excuse to hop on the bus - let someone else drive for you, save on gas & reduce carbon emissions!

Taking the bus between Montpelier & Burlington for one day saves ~50lbs of CO2!

Experiencing our public transit system first hand is critical to inform discussions of how to best support transportation needs across our rural state.

Pro tips for bus comfort:

• Headphones for quiet/music/webinars

• Laptop if you want to get some work done

• Comfortable walking shoes for the walk from the bus stop to the Statehouse

• A sweater/scarf in case it's chilly or for leaning your head against the window without the bumps
  

We hope to see you on the bus!
