Getting around

In Vermont, the "dirt road" is more than just a cliché—it's actually the majority. According to the most recent data from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) for 2024, approximately 54% of the state's public roads are unpaved. Transportation for this area means a reliable car, SUV or truck. Front wheel drive, 4-wheel or AWD is important for year round comfort and safety.
