The Vermont Agency of Transportation’s Mobility and Transportation Innovations (MTI) Grant Program funds creative projects that enhance mobility and access for transit-dependent Vermonters. The program aims to expand and implement transportation demand management (TDM) strategies, reduce single-occupancy vehicle use, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Funding is available for a variety of activities, including extending or marketing TDM programs, microtransit, first/last mile solutions, and volunteer driver initiatives. Projects must demonstrate measurable improvements in Vermont’s transportation landscape and align with at least one of the MTI program goals.
