In Spring 2021, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT), in partnership with the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), initiated a federal Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study in Addison County. The Vergennes PEL Study (Study) was initiated in 2021, with the intent to evaluate transportation alternatives to reduce the impacts of large trucks on VT Route 22A (Route 22A) in downtown Vergennes while also enhancing the quality of life and economic vitality for residents in the city and surrounding towns. The Study concluded in Spring 2025, the Final Report describes the approach used for the Study and summarizes the conclusions and findings.
Next steps? The PEL process is intended to provide the framework for the long-term implementation of the recommended alternative as funding is identified to advance the alternatives into NEPA. As funding becomes available, this Study can be used as a resource for future project development and to inform NEPA. Future analysis would build upon the environmental work, public outreach, and agency coordination conducted as a part of this Study, when engaging in the environmental review process to comply with NEPA. Stakeholders identified as part of the PEL Study will be notified should the funding become available. If you are interested in future notifications, click here to join the stakeholder list.
