Green Mountain Transit has scheduled service from downtown Burlington, Kennedy Drive, and along Williston Road all the way to Taft Corners. The Transit App tells you what time to leave to catch the next bus and when you will arrive. Closest stops: Barnes & Noble, Delta Hotel, Alpine Shop sign.
Ride-Service Drop-off & Pick-up Locations: New this year, we are asking ride-share services (or your ride) to drop you off either in front of Pompanoosuc Mills (coming from Dorset Street) or on Datillio Drive (coming from Hinesburg Road).
Market Street between Dorset Street and City Hall will be closed April 25 & 26, beginning at 1:00 PM each day, and will reopen each night.
During road closures, Rick Marcotte Central School and parking areas behind City Hall will remain accessible from Market Street via Hinesburg Road only.
