R = Request Stops (Flag Stops)
In addition to our regularly scheduled stops there are additional stops indicated

moving bus. Drivers will only stop where it is safe. We suggest calling 802-447-0477
one day in advance to request a pick-up. Please note: For a return pickup from
an R designated stop you must be there on time (time noted on the schedule),
please notify the driver or call the office...
these "R" stops are not automatic and the bus cannot wait.

SAFETY PLEDGE
Safety is our highest priority. Ongoing measures include driver background
checks, random drug and alcohol tests, daily vehicle inspections and preventative
maintenance; We also ensure our volunteer's privately owned vehicles have up
to date inspections, seat belts and are clean and comfortable. We pledge to
constantly renew our efforts toward safety and continuously seek new programs
and opportunities to increase safety on our system.
