The Agency of Transportation (VTrans) has a substantial public investment in its transportation infrastructure. The Agency recognizes the need to continue to improve its management of all transportation modes to preserve, develop, and enhance an integrated transportation system that provides a connected and coordinated network, accommodates the level of service expected by all transportation customers, and provides a range of choices needed to support economic growth in Vermont.

The Operations Division, with over 560 employees, includes the Maintenance Section, the Aviation Program, the Rail Program, the Public Transit Program, the Central Garage, and the Technical Services Section, with support from our own IT section and Business Office.  Our goal is to maintain a safe, efficient and reliable transportation system for the movement of people and goods through Vermont.

The nine maintenance districts are responsible for the maintenance of Vermont's highways, railways, airports, and public transit systems. Our primary mission is to keep Vermont state highways and airports open and safe for the transportation network users, while managing the system in a cost-effective and environmentally-sensitive manner.

The Aviation Program provides a safe environment for users of the system, preserving the aviation infrastructure, promoting aviation-related activities and education programs, and expanding travel opportunities at the 17 public use airports located throughout Vermont.

The Rail Program assists in the development of rail transportation for shippers and passengers, and provides support to improve the freight and passenger infrastructure with recognition of the social, economic, and environmental importance of rail as a major component of the state's transportation system.

The Public Transit Program encourages and promotes statewide public transportation by coordinating transit services to support common sense solutions for the transit-dependant and general population to access employment, medical appointments and shopping centers, assist with congestion mitigation to preserve air quality, improve economic development and tourism, and provide connectivity to commuter and intercity services.

The Environmental Program provides administration over environmental regulatory compliance and natural and cultural resource protection for the Agency of Transportation Operations Division ensuring compliance under various federal and state environmental regulatory programs, including, but not limited to Stormwater Management and Compliance ; Hazardous Materials and Waste Management and Landscape/Vegetation Management.

The Central Garage maintains a safe and reliable fleet of vehicles and equipment which allow the Agency to fulfill its mission. From its location in Berlin, the Central Garage coordinates the purchase, preparation, service, repair, and replacement of over 650 vehicles and pieces of equipment, including more than 250 plow trucks.

The Traffic Shop maintains the State's signs, traffic signals, and roadway center and edge lines from its headquarters in Berlin, as well as outpost garages in Colchester and Mendon.
