SEVT ANNOUNCES SPRINGFIELD MICROTRANSIT PUBLIC MEETINGS

Release Date: July 15, 2025

  SPRINGFIELD: Southeast Vermont Transit (SEVT aka the MOOver) is holding two public information meetings about the conversion of the Springfield InTown bus route to microtransit in early fall.

             Microtransit is a free Uber-like system of real-time public transit service open to all members of the public whose trip begins and ends anywhere in the Town of Springfield. Rides will be delivered in a lift-equipped small bus anywhere within the Town of Springfield and North Springfield boundaries from 6:00 am-6:00 pm Monday-Friday non-holiday. A software program will schedule trips and route shared trips based on shared trip algorithms.

SEVT has operated a microtransit system in Windsor since 2023. Springfield will be the sixth such system in Vermont. Springfield joins Barre, Manchester, Middlebury, Windsor and Morrisville as Vermont’s microtransit communities.

The purpose of the meetings is to provide information on what microtransit is, how it will work in Springfield, answer questions, and receive public input.

Both meetings will have the same agenda and are offered at two dates and times: July 29 at 5:30 pm and August 7 at 12:00 pm. Both are at the Springfield Public Library in the Flinn Room.      

            Information is available at https://www.moover.com/springfield-microtransit/ or by calling SEVT at 888-869-6287. There will be postings of project-related information around Springfield, in newspapers, social media, and other formats.
