With increasing gas prices, soaring bus ridership, and carpooling on the rise, Vermont's Park and Ride facilities are overflowing. Interstate 89's exit 11 Richmond Park and Ride has 105 parking spaces, but as of the past few months the lot has seen several more vehicles than it has spaces to park. Vermont has 27 Park and Ride facilities of these 27 Richmond's is the state's second largest. Nevertheless, 105 spots is just not enough, people have been parking on the grass, placing their vehicles wherever they can find space. As a result, and with the expectation that people will continue to seek alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle (SOV), the state is building a 60 space gravel lot in Richmond to accommodate the influx of vehicles.
