Green Mountain Transit says it will likely reinstate fares in Chittenden County that were suspended during the pandemic.

Live call-in discussion: This hour, we’ll get an update on mass transit across the state. We'll talk with a Green Mountain Transit official about the likely plan to reinstate fares in Chittenden County starting this summer, as pandemic era funding winds down. We’ll hear about plans to pilot on-demand microtransit programs to Windsor, Morrisville and other communities. And we'll get an update on the state's efforts to transition to electric buses.

Our guests are:

  • Ross MacDonald, public transit program manager,
  • Jon Moore, assistant general manager,
  • Randy Schoonmaker, CEO,

Broadcast live on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
