Description
This annual grant program funds innovative transportation projects and strategies in Vermont that advance mobility and access for transit-dependent residents, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease reliance on single occupancy vehicles. The program is designed to catalyze new or expanded Travel Demand Management (TDM) initiatives, such as microtransit, bike share, car share, volunteer driver programs, first/last mile solutions, and employer-based TDM measures. Funding is supported by both state and federal sources, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Carbon Reduction Program.
Projects must align with program goals and provide measurable outcomes related to improved mobility, emission reductions, and enhanced transportation options. Applicants are expected to track and report performance metrics.
