In April, the Moover launched evening microtransit bus service in Brattleboro. “MicroMoo2” provides scheduled rides, door to door, from 5:00 to 11:30pm on weekdays. A major goal of this initiative was to reduce barriers to employment affecting evening and overnight shifts. The service has already provided hundreds of rides, including some passengers who use it each evening to return home from 2nd shift jobs.

        On Tuesday, July 30th at 9am, BDCC and the Moover will host a short webinar about MicroMoo2 designed for employers to show how this service can be helpful in their efforts to recruit or retain talent and for their employees.

Please join BDCC & SEVT for a brief training for employers:
