Western Vermont Corridor Transportation Management Plan ~ Final Report:
Milton / Colchester / Burlington / South Burlington / Shelburne / Charlotte / Winooski | The purpose of the Western Corridor study is to evaluate transportation, land use and related conditions and create a Transportation Management Plan that presents a unified, long-term vision for managing and improving the transportation system in western Vermont. As an initial effort to coordinate planning over a vast study area, the plan does not recommend specific projects. Rather, it presents a broader vision and framework for transportation investment policies and strategies. Continuing the ongoing collaboration among the study partners will be key to developing and implementing specific projects and programs consistent with the recommendations of this plan. The plan is being coordinated with the Vermont Agency of Transportation?s ongoing project development efforts in the Corridor, including various railroad initiatives. | 2010

2010 Campaign for Active Transportation: Chittenden County, Vermont:
| Chittenden County, Vermont is poised to expand on its reputation as a model community for walking and bicycling as part of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy?s 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation, which seeks to double federal transportation funding for walking and bicycling in the next transportation bill. With more than 300 miles of designated on-road facilities, more than 110 miles of shared use paths, and more than 440 miles of sidewalks, residents and visitors have numerous options to walk or bike to their destinations or just explore our friendly communities. There is great potential to increase the number of people choosing to walk and bike by completing critical gaps in the existing network and expanding education and encouragement programs. | 2009

Regional Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan Update ~ Final Report (2008):
| In 2007 the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) contracted with Wilbur Smith Associates to perform this update to the 2003 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The plan serves as the bicycle and pedestrian component of the metropolitan longrange transportation plan and guides the implementation of an interconnected regional bicycle and pedestrian transportation network in Chittenden County. The plan is regional in scope. As such, it may not include all the bicycle and pedestrian facilities within each community. Facilities that serve strictly local needs, fill an almost exclusively recreational purpose, or that do not provide regionally important connectivity have been left off the regional network maps. | 2008
