CONNECTICUT RIVER TRANSIT BEGINS BUS SERVICE;
GRACE COTTAGE’S WILL END

Now that a “Dial-A-Ride Service” is available in the West River Valley, thanks to Connecticut River Transit (CRT), Grace Cottage will be discontinuing its twice-monthly bus trips to Springfield and Brattleboro after this month.

CRT’s service, which is offered in exchange for a donation of $2.50 each way, includes door-to-door pick up, and drop off at the Transportation Center in Brattleboro, where riders can then board the Brattleboro Bee Line to get around town. To schedule a trip, riders should call 888-869-6287 at least 48 hours in advance.

“The Board’s decision to discontinue our bus was not made lightly,” said Roger Allbee, President of the Grace Cottage Board of Trustees, “and we apologize if it’s inconvenienced anyone. We are confident that CRT will do an excellent job in providing this service, as they are experts in the transportation business.”
