MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) has announced that its Tri-Town Shuttle Bus schedules will change beginning Tuesday, Aug. 20. The adjustments will primarily re-establish consistent connections between Vergennes and Bristol plus simplify the circuits within each municipality.
“In July, we implemented temporary schedule changes to the Tri-Town schedules to improve safety, reliability and our on-time performance,” said Jim Moulton, ACTR’s executive director. “Those results were achieved. Now, based on community feedback, we have made additional adjustments to improve upon the schedule changes and make the service more user-friendly.”
The Tri-Town Shuttle includes the Tri-Town Bristol and Tri-Town Vergennes legs, which connect Middlebury, New Haven, Bristol and Vergennes. Since this route first expanded in 2010, ridership has doubled from 15,500 rides per year to more than 31,000.
The temporary schedule will be in effect until later in 2013 when ACTR expects to update its full bus system schedule.
