Microtransit In Springfield VT | New Free Transit Service Launching 2025

Microtransit Is Coming to Springfield: Here’s What You Need to Know

This fall, Springfield is taking a bold step forward in modernizing local transportation—and it’s all about convenience, access, and community. Starting in early September 2025, the traditional Springfield In-Town Bus Route will evolve into a brand-new microtransit system—free, flexible, and designed with YOU in mind.

What Is Microtransit?

Think of microtransit as a local, public version of rideshare—like an Uber or Lyft—but it’s free and designed for our Springfield community. Riders can book on-demand trips within the Town of Springfield and North Springfield using a smartphone app, a website, or even just by calling the SEVT (Southeast Vermont Transit) office.

Whether you need to get to work, the grocery store, a doctor’s appointment, or visit friends across town, microtransit makes it easier to get there—no car required.

Why the Shift from Fixed Route to Microtransit?

Expanded Hours: From 9:00 AM–4:00 PM to 6:00 AM–6:00 PM
More Reach: Now everyone in town—not just those along the old bus route—has access
Faster, Smarter Travel: With wait times aimed at 30 minutes or less, your time matters

What It Means for Current Bus Riders

Let’s Build It Together

Springfield’s new microtransit service is funded by the Town of Springfield, the Vermont Agency of Transportation, and the Northern Border Regional Commission, and supported by the Springfield Regional Development Corporation (SRDC).

This is a big leap forward for our town—better service, better access, and a better-connected community.
