COVID-19 Commuter Survey Results
Thank you for participating in this important survey! Over 1,200 Vermonters from every county responded to this survey. The purpose was to determine how COVID-19 has impacted commuters in the present and to assess how our transportation system may change as we slowly return to the workplace.
A coalition of Vermont transportation partners collaborated with the Association for Commuter Transportation to publicize ACT’s “COVID-19’s Impacts on Commuting” survey in June 2020. Although this survey was conducted nationally, CATMA led an analysis of Vermonters’ responses specifically on this survey.
Learn more about the survey and our Vermont results here.
Heading back into the office, here is what you need to know
We have collected some tips and resources for commuters and employers for staying safe and healthy as they return to the workplace as well as “what you should know” when using local transportation systems.
Telework Resources!
CATMA also has compiled some tips and resources for employees who are teleworking (aka “working remotely”). In partnership with the Upper Valley Transportation Management Association, we launched a new website page dedicated to remote working and Vermont Best Practices for Employers & Employees. Also, check out Best Practices for Video Meetings and Conferences, as an additional resource developed by Vermont TMAs.
