Transportation

Let’s reduce our reliance on driving alone.

The Vital Communities Transportation Program works with employers, municipalities, school districts, and regional planners, and transit providers to improve transportation options. We work toward a safe, reliable, and multimodal transportation system in the Upper Valley that serves all, is affordable to use and operate, increases community resilience, and minimizes climate impact.

Try an E-Bike for Free!

Do you wish biking was part of your life? E-bikes can greatly increase that possibility. E-bikes (electric bikes) are like regular bikes but with an electric motor in addition to human-powered pedals, a battery to store power for that motor, and a heavier frame to accommodate the increased hardware. The electric assist can help with the physical issues, daunting hills, and the need to haul heavy loads that might otherwise keep you off your bike. This could enable you to replace many car trips with breezy, two-wheel journeys that don’t clog the roads or present parking challenges. Intrigued? Try an e-bike for free through the Upper Valley E-Bike Lending Library!
