VLS walks the talk when it comes to greening transportation. We support the efforts of students, faculty and staff to get cars off the road. Here are some of our transportation options for those who choose not to bring a car with them to VLS or to cut down on their personal car use.Zipcars
Explore Vermont without bringing a car to campus! VLS has two ZipCars: a 2010 Prius Hybrid and an all-wheel drive 2010 Toyota Matrix Wagon. It's easy to become a ZipCar member once you have been accepted to VLS. With a clean driving record and a $35 fee, you can become a ZipCar member in 3-7 days. Rates are $8/hour weekdays or $9/hour weekend, and include gas, insurance, and 180 free miles per reservation. For more information or to join, go to: http://www.zipcar.com/vermontlaw/Car Pooling
There are two car pool bulletin boards on campus, one on-line and another in the student center, and there is designated parking for car poolers.Public Transportation

The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans)through its Go Vermont initiative has launched a new, state-of-the-art ridesharing program. The new program offers those seeking to carpool an Internet tool to search for others who rideshare.
The new, web-based program replaces the Vermont Rideshare Program.The new tool is reported to offer quick and easy service for people looking to ride share not only within Vermont, but anywhere within the entire tri-state area of Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire.

Registering with Go Vermont automatically qualifies carpoolers for a "guaranteed ride home" in case of emergency. This benefit provides those who use the website with an "insurance policy" in case either they or their driver has an unexpected schedule change. Registrants also can obtain parking passes for designated spaces at participating employers, as well as qualify them for any incentive and drawings offered directly through the Go Vermont program. This free resource can be accessed by visiting www.connectingcommuters.org or by calling (800) 685-RIDE.
Here's the bargain of the decade: public bus transportation from Montpelier to VLS each weekday for just $1 each way. Stagecoach Transportation Services, in conjunction with Vermont Law School, Vermont Technical College, Gifford Hospital and the Vermont Agency of Transportation, is now offering this service.
A bus leaves Main Street Montpelier at 7:00 a.m. and stops at the park and ride lots along Rte. 89 at exits 8, 7, 5 and 4, arriving at VLS at 7:55 a.m. The complete schedule is available at
