Riding Toward a Greener Future

At Advance Transit, we believe getting from place to place shouldn’t cost the earth—literally. That’s why we’re proud to offer fare-free public transportation to the beautiful Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire. But beyond just getting people where they need to go, we're making a real difference for our environment—and our community.

A Fare-Free Ride with a Priceless Impact

When we say “free,” we mean it. No fare boxes. No passes. Just hop on and go. That ease of access doesn’t just help people get to work, school, the grocery store, or a doctor’s appointment—it encourages more people to leave the car at home and take the bus instead. And fewer cars on the road means cleaner air for all of us.

Fighting Climate Change One Trip at a Time

Transportation is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. But when you choose public transit, you’re making a powerful statement for sustainability. By reducing single-occupancy car trips, Advance Transit helps cut carbon emissions, ease traffic congestion, and reduce wear and tear on our roads—all while connecting people to the places and services that matter most.

And we’re not stopping there. We’re actively working to modernize our fleet with cleaner, more energy-efficient buses, including hybrid and electric options, to make our system even greener in the years ahead.

Community-First, Future-Focused

Sustainability isn't just about the planet—it's about people. A healthy, connected community depends on reliable transportation that works for everyone. By remaining fare-free, we remove barriers for riders of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds. Whether you’re a student at Dartmouth, an older community member running errands, or a parent commuting to work, Advance Transit is here to get you there safely, sustainably, and at no cost.

And let’s not forget—every ride is one more step toward a stronger, more climate-resilient Upper Valley.

Small Choices, Big Change

We know change starts with the small choices we make every day. Riding the bus may seem like a simple act, but when thousands of us do it together, the impact is powerful. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

So next time you step onto an Advance Transit bus, know that you’re not just catching a ride—you’re helping drive a greener, cleaner, and more connected future for the Upper Valley.
