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.

Parking requirements for the facility and how they will be addressed.

Currently there are 150 spaces on the Carr Lot, used for Vermont Transit and general parking.

Parking required for the Capital City Welcome and Multimodal Center 37 Spaces):
Short term bus parking needs:
1 bay for Vermont Transit;
2 bays for Wheels Transportation;
2 bays for visiting Tour Bus;
1 drop off area for the Downtown Shuttle.
6 Total

Other short term parking needs:
1 spaces for express package and other drop offs;
1 spaces for standing Taxi;
10 spaces Welcome Center Visitor; and
1 space handicap parking
13 Total

Long term passenger and employee parking needs:
11 spaces Vermont Transit passengers;
1 space handicap parking;
2 space Vermont Transit operation;
3 spaces Wheels passengers;
1 space Wheels staff
18 Total
Estimated Spaces lost from the Capital City Welcome and Multimodal Center construction -– (150 existing spaces - 37 Spaces retained for site use = 113 spaces).

Other employee, long term parking, and other needs currently provided on the Carr Lot will be provided off site at lots existing or to be developed in Montpelier. The proposal depends on a year round shuttle, and the use of existing and potential satellite parking lots (DET, Econo Lodge, former Grossman's). The development of a Commuter Fringe Benefit Program would reduce the demand for downtown parking. The City and State are also considering the feasibility of a downtown parking garage (behind City Hall, 133 State Street, Court Street). The City has appropriated funds to study the location for a downtown parking garage.
