## Resource

Washington County’s public buses are getting a fresh start with Tri-Valley Transit, a rural-focused operator taking over from Green Mountain Transit after years of service cuts. This move, backed by state legislation aimed at smarter resource allocation, promises more reliable and efficient service for towns like Barre and Montpelier. Tri-Valley will maintain current schedules and offer existing drivers jobs, while Green Mountain focuses on Burlington’s critical urban routes. The goal? Better transit for rural communities and smarter state spending — with the state watching closely to ensure success.
