There when it matters.
When the Champlain Bridge shut down unexpectedly, ACTR was there. During the four
months the bridge was closed ACTR provided 4,000 rides to New York State residents who
are employees of Vermont businesses. The employers included: UTC Aerospace Systems
(Vergennes: formerly Goodrich) Porter Medical Center (Middlebury), Agrimark / Cabot
(Middlebury), Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (Middlebury) and DR Power
Equipment (Vergennes).
Each and every day as I cross over Lake Champlain, I am ever so thankful we New Yorkers have our bridge back!

since 2000 ACTR provided free bus service to all those affected by the closing of the bridge. Without their services, it would since 2003
have been a huge financial hardship, not to mention the wear and tear on my vehicle. ACTR’s services helped
turn a major crisis into a tolerable situation that I will never forget. Again, thank you so much!
