The Vermont of Transportation (AOT), in partnership with the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC), announces the acceptance of the Vergennes PEL Study Policy Committee’s recommendation to advance the Pink Alternative, Blue Alternative, and Purple Alternative for further consideration in a future process (NEPA). VTrans, in partnership with the ACRPC, invites you to attend a final in-person public open house to learn more about the resulting transportation alternatives being recommended at the culmination of the Vergennes PEL Study.  

The Study Team will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, April 2, from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., at the American Legion Post 14 in Vergennes. Members of the public are encouraged to drop by at any time between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The Study Team will be available to share and discuss the Policy Committee’s recommendation, provide a high-level overview of the study timelines and process, and answer any questions.  

Since Fall 2021, the Vergennes PEL Study has been developing and evaluating potential transportation alternatives that would reduce the impact of large truck traffic on VT Route 22A and Downtown Vergennes to enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in Vergennes and the surrounding towns. These transportation alternatives were devised and revised based on past studies, extensive public feedback, quantitative and qualitative analysis, input from Coordinating Agencies, and guidance from the Technical and Policy Committees.
