Fall in Vermont
|
Can you believe it's November already? With the mild fall we had, it's surprising the snow has already fallen and winter is around the corner. CATMA had a fun filled fall with bike commuter workshops, new mobility benefits and award ceremonies, but now its time to prepare for winter commuting.
We hope that all who were affected by Tropical Storm Irene are doing well and mobility is progressing. Remember VTrans offers an up-to-date road condition resource and other hurricane related updates to assist Vermonters in navigating through the aftermath of Irene. Visit http://www.aot.state.vt.us/
