Advance Transit, Inc.
Advance Transit, Inc. (AT), headquartered in Wilder, Vermont was established in 1984 as a bi-state regional public transportation provider. AT offers fixed route and rideshare services. The majority of Advance Transit’s passengers use the bus to travel to and from work. Its routes are oriented to connect to the area’s employment centers including the two largest employers, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Dartmouth College. Advance Transit’s twenty-bus fleet is equipped with wheelchair lifts and bicycle racks. In 2002 Advance Transit logged 476,887 passenger trips, a 19% increase over 2001. The increase is largely the result of Advance Transit’s “free zone” which has now grown to include its entire service area. Advance Transit’s rideshare program, called “Upper Valley Rideshare”, had 705 active members in its database, up 16% from 2001. These carpoolers have saved over one million miles per year.
