The town of Hinesburg is taking a lead in looking for alternative modes of transportation. Hinesburg Rides - a three-component transportation program concentrated on offering alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle and rides to those in need of transportation - has lifted the new plan off the ground with a volunteer driver program. The program, operating through the local nonprofit Hinesburg Community Resource Center, is also working on setting up a car-pooling and ridesharing base. One of the main objectives of the program is, to not only provide these initial alternatives, but to bring even more alternatives to Hinesburg and the surrounding area by proving that further transit options are used and needed in and around Hinesburg. Hinesburg's two largest employers, Saputo Cheese USA and NRG Systems, are behind the program and one of the hopes is to see a CCTA bus route to Hinesburg in the near future.
