Fall in Vermont
|
Can you believe October is almost over? We finally got all that rain we didn't see this summer. CATMA had another fun filled fall with bike commuter workshops, new mobility benefits and award ceremonies. Now it's time to prepare for winter commuting.
CATMA announces our exciting transition to a traditional transportation management association. Sandy Thibault will take on the leadership as Executive Director. After 24 years of service, Robert H. Penniman, CATMA's founder, retired on October 15. Click here for Press Release

Bike Commuter Workshop
Once again we partnered with Local Motion, and our member institutions and offered two bike commuter workshops this fall. These were open to all employees of CATMA member institutions. This season we offered both a Getting into Bicycling (Bicycling 101) and a Building Street Skills (Bicycling 102) session. We'd like to send a special thanks to Champlain College Sustain Champlain, Fletcher Allen Wellness and UVM Transportation and Parking Services in helping make these workshops possible. Check out the CATMA Facebook page for photos and email us if you're interested in Spring workshops. Pearl Street|Prospect St|Colchester Ave Intersection One of the recommendations of the Colchester Avenue Corridor Task Force was to identify a preferred alternative that improves mobility and safety for all modes through the Prospect Street/Pearl Street/Colchester Avenue intersection. A scoping study is being conducted and a Local Concerns Public Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 27th, 7-9PM, McClure Conference Room, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Colchester Avenue. Your input and participation is welcome. Feel free to send your input via email to catma@uvm.edu.
