Vermont Interfaith Action: Winooski School Transportation Action 06/03/2015

Ironically, although Winooski is only one square mile, transportation to and from school can be daunting for many families. There are no school buses, and the regular bus service does not run at appropriate times to help families get their children to school. Many families have only one car, and if work schedules do not coincide with the school schedule, driving children to school is problematic. Having little ones walk a mile in deep winter snow also creates problems with timely arrivals and being ready to learn when they do arrive wet, cold, and tired. This action is an effort to ask the school district, City of Winooski, Chittenden Regional Planning Commission, and other stakeholders to work together to come up with suitable solutions so that children can get to school safely, on time, and ready to learn.

Preview of "Stand Up for Transportation" Day 03/24/2015

Shelagh Cooley hosts the Coordinator of the Vermont Community Alliance for Public Transportation Charles Norris-Brown and the transportation historian Don MacDonald to discuss the upcoming Stand Up for Transportation Day on April 9th.

With the future of America’s public transportation, roads, bridges and rail systems on the line, transportation and community leaders from across the country will unite on April 9, 2015 to highlight “Stand Up for Transportation Day.” Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), with support from national and local partners from transportation organizations, business and community oriented interests, Stand Up for Transportation Day will unite the voices of 216 participating organizations in more than 140 communities across the country to focus on the urgency of the passage of a long-term, federal transportation bill.

The current federal transportation funding bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), is set to expire on May 31, 2015. Without a long-term federal transportation funding bill, Vermont and communities across the country will face tremendous uncertainty. Transportation is the backbone of our local and national economy. A long-term transportation bill is needed for better and expanded transportation options, and to continue to grow our economy.

The Vermont Community Alliance for Public Transportation (VCAPT) seeks to provide a strong, diverse community voice for public transportation in order to promote safe, adequate, physically accessible public transportation options for the sake of our Vermont environment and community. Contact VCAPT at vermontcapt@gmail.com with questions or to get involved!
