Spring Is Here!
|
The weather is finally more cooperative, and we encourage you to lace up those walking shoes, hop on those bikes, seek a carpool with a colleague or neighbor, jump on the bus or bike to a bus stop and load your bike on the bus. CATMA can assist you with planning a healthy, sustainable and cost-effective commute, which will save you money, time and a chance to meet new friends ~ just give us a call at 656-RIDE!
Congratulations to all UVM & Champlain College Graduates! Best for a successful career and an enjoyable summer!

CATMA Champion

 Pamela Gratton
University of Vermont Pam recently won a restaurant gift certificate in CATMA's monthly drawing and graciously shared her commuting story. Thank you Pam! " I have been taking the bus about 3 years now. I have taken the St. Albans Link and also the Milton Commuter bus. I have met so many interesting people and enjoy this aspect of commuting. I find that we are all in the same boat, trying to work, attend to our families, and facing all the other things life challenges us with. By riding the bus I am able to save money commuting, as well as not using gas. So, I am trying to be environmentally conscientious. I find it a relaxing way to get to and from work. I have to say the CCTA drivers have been so professional. I am confident of their abilities and very impressed with the way they treat the commuters."
