The Mountain Town Connector is on the Move! Neighborhood Connections launched its community-supported transportation program with a generous grant from the Holt Foundation in November, 2021.! The program was tailored to our rural location, at the outer edge of existing public transportation resources. Our service offers on-demand scheduling, flexible fixed routes, and group transportation trips, all at no cost.
Rider Criteria There is no age or income criteria to catch a ride on the Mountain Town Connector, and while medical rides are prioritized, our ride categories include, but are not limited to:
Medical and other essential appointments
Shopping for food and other necessities
Addressing unexpected transportation hardships
Social and recreational outings
Access to Neighborhood Connections and community programming
Door-Through-Door Service One of the unique features of the program is the available door-through-door service. Upon request, drivers will accompany a rider into their appointment or activity, assisting and advocating. As an added measure, social work and advocacy services are also available through our staff social workers.
Drivers We utilize a team of dedicated drivers to fulfill ride requests and scheduled rides Monday through Friday, with occasional planned weekend outings. They transport folks either the Mountain Town Connector or their own vehicles. Thanks to our Funders!
Our micro-transit program is built on community support and partnership. Our largest funder, the Holt Fund, awarded NC a three-year grant, enabling us to not only launch the initiative, but give us time to build a sustainable program. Other key financial partnerships have been the Mountain Valley Health Council, the Thomas Thompson Trust, the State of Vermont Department of Transportation, the Windham Foundation, and Just Neighbors.
