The information on this page is excerpted from the Capital City Welcome and Multimodal Center application submitted to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, March 1, 2002.

Hours of operation and staffing of the facility.

It is envisioned the hours and staffing will be consistent with the following users:
Vermont Transit operates from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday – Friday, half a day on Saturday, and closed on Sunday. Staffing comprises of one person on a shift.

Wheels staffing would entail one dispatcher, and up to three drivers at any given time waiting to exchange shifts. Typical hours would be 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday-Friday.

The Welcome Center staffing currently has two full time, one temp, and one volunteer workers. They are open 365 days a yearfrom 8:00 am pm.

One of the advantages for co-location is the ability to share staffing and provide more service for the public.

Estimated costs to acquire the site, construct the facility, and operate the facility.
