Last year, RCT gave 181,273 rides to residents of over 61 towns across Northern Vermont.

We provide non emergency medical transportation for those without their own transportation, rides for older adults and persons with disabilities, recovery, social and job opportunities, and an alternative form of transportation for those that choose to leave their car at home.

We work hard to provide these rides fare free to the rider because accessible and reliable public transportation is essential for healthy communities.

Today is Please help us continue to provide fare free transportation for our communities.

Beginning Jan 1, 2026 RCT will assume responsibility for fixed-route bus and demand response public transportation services in Franklin and Grand Isle counties. For more info click here.

We are very happy to work with community partners in balancing climate resiliency, and our region's well-being and economic vitality.
This day was informative and meaningful. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the conversation.
From forest products to outdoor recreation, our forests are truly at the heart of our lives.

Today is National Rural Transit Day.

On Rural Transit Day, and every day throughout the year, we pledge to:

Understand the unique needs of rural and tribal passengers and plan services to meet those needs.

Provide all passengers with helpful, courteous, and respectful customer service.

Coordinate with community organizations to provide transportation to as many destinations as possible.

Involve passengers, community stakeholders, and elected officials in service planning.

Assure that vehicles and facilities are safe, clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.

Invest in training and education that keep staff current, knowledgeable and skilled.

Contribute to an organizational culture where staff are motivated and successful.

Have a plan for potential emergencies and disasters and communicate that plan to all stakeholders.

Keep up with and invest in new technologies and funding opportunities to continually improve services.

Thank you to all rural transit workers for keeping the wheels on the road each day and making the world a better place.
Sincerely,
Team RCT
