SPRINGFIELD: Southeast Vermont Transit aka The MOOver announced today that free microtransit service in Springfield will begin Monday, November 17th at 6:00 am.
Microtransit is Uber with a van. It will serve any pickup or drop off request within the Town of Springfield boundaries. Rides will be grouped together via scheduling software called QRyde. Microtransit will replace the existing Route 1 Springfield In-Town route which ends on Friday, November 14th.
The free, three-year pilot project will operate Monday-Friday 6:00 am-6:00 pm. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the MOOver Office at 888-869-6287 or 802-460-7433. Reservations can also be made online at https://cp-micromoo.qryde.com/cp/or via the QRyde rider app.
Funding is provided by the Federal Transit Administration, the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the Town of Springfield, and a $282,078 grant from the Northern Borders Regional Commission.
SEVT met with 15 groups in Springfield since July 11th to introduce the concept and explain the microtransit operations plan. Brochures will be mailed to every household and business in Springfield. Posters, brochure distribution, media outreach, and social media are being used to get the message out.
“We’re very grateful for all the support that the Springfield Community has given us, and we look forward to starting the service,” said Randy Schoonmaker, MOOver CEO. “We have been operating microtransit in Windsor for almost three years, and we hope it will substantially increase mobility in Springfield.”
