Do you need a car to attend community college in Vermont?
In Vermont, 95% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.
An additional 5% — or one additional campus — is less than five miles from an existing transit line, but not yet connected.
Civic Mapping Initiative assessed the 19 campuses belonging to community and technical colleges in Vermont to determine which locations were accessible by public transit. Read more about our project and methodology.
Accessibility requires not only transit stops, but also schedules and routes that meet the needs of today’s college students. Our map does not include frequency or route information.
Transit Stop Proximity to Community & Technical College Campuses in Vermont
Why is transit accessibility critical
for community college students?
Working students,
parenting students, and
students from low-income households are
overrepresented at community and technical colleges.
These students must manage “time poverty,” as they juggle family, work, and school commitments.
Statistics reflect national data from NCES and the College Board. Specific estimates for this state are not available.
Our Community & Technical College Transit Map displays all applicable campus locations in New England.
