How To Ride The Bus – Southeast Vermont Region

Welcome to the MOOver’s FREE Windham & Southern Windsor County’s Public Transit System! 

COVID-19 

All riders and drivers are required to wear face coverings while onboard the bus. Face coverings must cover the nose and mouth at all times. Our buses are disinfected daily. If you do not feel well do not ride the bus. Other operating policies and route schedules may change without notice. 

The MOOver operates fixed route bus, van, and volunteer driver services in 30 towns in Windham and southern Windsor Counties.

WHEELCHAIR LIFTS are provided on all the MOOver buses. Our professionally-trained drivers are pleased to assist wheelchair riders on and off the bus. TTY services are available to hearing and speech challenged riders by calling Vermont Relay at 711 or (800) 253-0196. 

BUS STOPS are round MOOver signs at the locations listed on the Route Map. Along the route riders may wave or flag the bus down to be picked up as long as the driver considers the area safe enough to pull over. The driver will not stop near corners, at intersections, on steep hills or other hazardous areas. 

BIKES We welcome bike riders to load/unload their bike on the rack on the front of the bus. Bikes are not allowed onboard the bus. 

PETS are not allowed on the bus with the exceptions of service animals or pets in pet carriers going to the veterinarian. 

All MOOver routes are fare free!

All fixed route bus services, except the winter seasonal 61 route, are Monday-Friday with no weekend services, nor on New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Southeast Vermont Transit Title VI Program

I. Statement of Policy

Southeast Vermont Transit (SEVT), as a subrecipient of federal grant money through the Vermont Agency of Transportation, is required by the FTA to conform to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its amendments. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that no person in the United States, on the grounds of race, color or national origin be excluded from, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Presidential Executive Order 12898 addresses environmental justice in minority and low-income populations. Presidential Executive Order 13166 addresses services to those individuals with limited English proficiency.

SEVT is committed to enforcing the provisions of Title VI and protecting the rights and opportunities of all persons associated with SEVT or affected by its programs. SEVT’s commitment includes vigorously enforcing all applicable laws and regulations that affect SEVT and those organizations, both public and private, which participate and benefit through our programs.

SEVT will take positive and realistic affirmative steps to ensure that all persons and/or firms wishing to participate in its programs are given an equal and equitable chance to participate. Any sub-recipients and contractors are required to prevent discrimination and ensure nondiscrimination in all of their programs, activities and services.

Any person(s) who feels that they have been discriminated against is encouraged to report such violations in writing to the SEVT office as described in section III.
