Policy Solutions for Vermont
“[Transportation] is always number two and people assume we can’t do something about it. We can do something about it.”
“We should be investing in a future where Vermonters can get to where they need to go in a way that does not break their budget, that helps us reach our climate goals, and helps us build community”
2025 Legislative Summary
On Monday, June 2nd, Governor Phil Scott signed H.488, the Transportation bill (T-bill), into law. This year’s T-bill follows the Governor’s recommendation for transportation spending in FY2026 and upholds the status quo. While there were some good outcomes, many of T4VT’s most pressing priorities were not addressed.
The Miscellaneous Motor Vehicle bill or 'DMV bill' is another piece of transportation legislation that gets passed every year. This year's bill included important measures aimed at protecting the “x” gender option on drivers licenses and bike safety updates along with an educational campaign.
T4VT will continue to advocate for transportation spending that supports a system that is aligned with Vermont and Vermonters goals of affordability, equity, health, and resilience.
