Endless Summer!
|
Hope everyone has had time to enjoy our very beautiful but very short Vermont summer. It's perfect weather to try getting to work by biking, walking, carpooling, taking the bus or experimenting with multi-modes. CATMA has a fun filled summer of events and we're gearing up to launch a Vanpool program. We hope to have more Vanpooling details in our next issue.
An early welcome back to our UVM and Champlain College Students!
