1. Introduction
The Joint Institutional Parking Management Plan (JIPMP) is submitted to the Planning Commission and
Development Review Board to demonstrate current and anticipated parking demand for Burlington’s “Hill”
Institutions to meet the requirements set forth in Article 8 of the Comprehensive Development Ordinance.
Burlington’s “Hill” Institutions, comprised of Champlain College, University of Vermont (UVM), and
University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC), are the founding members of the Chittenden Area
Transportation Management Association (CATMA). CATMA has submitted the Joint Institutional Parking
Management Plan and annual updates to the City of Burlington on behalf of the “Hill” Institutions since
2009. The current 2023-2028 JIPMP was approved by the Burlington Development Review Board on July
18, 2023.

This Annual Update is submitted to the City’s Office of City Planning by CATMA on behalf of its founding
institutional members: Champlain College, the University of Vermont, and University of Vermont Medical
Center.

Joint Institutional Parking Management Plan 2026 Annual Update
Purpose
The JIPMP annual updates are intended to:
 • Provide updated data to the approved 5-year JIPMP
 • Demonstrate that the institutions are employing, maintaining, improving, and collaborating on
 transportation demand management (TDM) practices as outlined in the 5-year plan
 • Demonstrate that the institutions are managing parking demand and resources holistically, based
 on updated enrollment, employment, and/or parking policy updates and supplying adequate
 parking facilities

Policy Updates
Updates to the Article 8 Ordinance were approved by City Council on January 9, 2023. These updates
codify the shift away from parking minimums while adopting parking maximums, expanded transportation
demand management, and updated institutional parking management plan requirements. It is important to
note that with the amended ordinance moving away from parking minimums, the need for waiver requests
when supply does not meet the minimum has been eliminated.

About CATMA
CATMA was established in April 1992 by the three “Hill” institutions in Burlington. In January 2015,
CATMA expanded to a regional Transportation Management Association (TMA) serving Chittenden County
with transportation demand management services, incentives, and programs. Its mission is to lead and
collaborate with public and private partners to advance transportation options that build a more
connected, resilient, and sustainable network for our members and region. In addition to collective parking
management among the Hill institutions, they have also invested in and committed to TDM strategies for
34 years. An overview and information on CATMA can be found at catmavt.org.

Transportation Management Associations (TMA)
TMAs are associations, organizations, or cooperatives that provide transportation services and education
to businesses, property owners, residents, and employees in a defined geographic area, combining their
efforts to expand transportation options and reduce program costs. They are not-for-profit collaborations
of private and public sector entities working together towards common goals, such as congestion
mitigation, transportation services and pollution reduction.

Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
The term 'transportation demand management' means the use of strategies to inform and encourage
travelers to maximize the efficiency of a transportation system, leading to improved mobility, reduced
congestion, and lower vehicle emissions, including strategies that use planning, programs, policies,
marketing, communications, incentives, pricing, data and technology."1

 2. Collective Institutional Summary
 Each of the institutions’ parking supply and demand are summarized within based on data gathered during
 the Fall of 2025. This assembled data informs the analysis that demonstrates the existing parking supply
 meets current demand for each institution.

 In addition, information regarding the anticipated development and growth on each campus informs the
 anticipated parking supply and demand out to 2028. Future demand predictions and additional
 information can be found in the 2023-2028 JIPMP.

 Peak Parking Demand
 Two primary methods can be used to estimate the current and future peak parking demand for each
 institution: lot counts and survey data. See Appendix A for a more detailed explanation of how data is
 collected. These methods have been utilized previously and are referenced in the 2023-2028 JIPMP (pg.
 17-18). As noted in previous JIPMP documents, there are limitations to both methods of estimating parking
 demand, however, it is reasonable to assume that these two methodologies provide low and high
 estimates to represent the “bookends” in understanding peak parking demand on campus.

 The data collected from the CATMA Fall Transportation Survey is primarily utilized to forecast the Future
 Parking Demand (see Table 2.2 below) for each institution and demonstrates travel behavior trends. We
 have included a current peak parking demand based on 2025 Survey Data in Appendix B. An overview of
 Parking Demand Estimation provided by UVM Transportation Research Center can be found in 2020-2022
 JIPMP, Appendix B which mentions the overestimate bookend the survey data represents.

Changes in Projected Growth
The Future Parking Demand Summary (Table 2.2) is based on data from the 2022 CATMA Survey and the
projected growth estimated made at that time. Champlain College does not anticipate reaching the
projected growth levels that would result in a net deficit of 350 parking spaces.

Survey Trends on Travel Behavior
CATMA administers a survey annually to track the longitudinal travel behavior trends. See Appendix A for
data collection methodology and response rate. In Fall of 2025, the survey revealed the drive alone rates
for the institutional affiliates. Employees of each institution have varying drive alone rates, see Figures 2.1-
2.3 below for trend data. In 2024, UVM expanded their Commuter Proximate Zone into South Burlington.
Students living within this zone can only purchase commuter evening parking permits.

  In February of 2024, the City of Burlington collaborated with the Chittenden County Dotted Blue - So Prospect, only
 regulated during certain time
  Regional Planning Commission to collect on-street parking counts in nearby
  neighborhoods in conjunction with the institutional parking counts conducted in past
  JIPMPs and annual updates. The counts have typically been conducted during daytime and nighttime
  hours (11am and 8pm) in the month of February on those streets identified by students and/or employees
  of the three institutions in the annual CATMA survey. There is an on-going coordination with the city, the
  CCRPC, and CATMA on on-street parking data collection.

  In addition, the City is in the process of a new citywide mobility plan, which will analyze curb management
  policies across the city, but particularly in those areas closest to major employers, institutions, and
  commercial corridors. Furthermore, the City will be revising its TDM policies and regulations in summer
  2026, with changes expected also for the JIPMP.

  The on-street parking counts conducted in February 2024 are available for review in the 2024 Annual
  JIPMP Update (pg. 8).

3. Collective Highlights and TDM Strategies
CATMA plans, administers, and manages a comprehensive suite of Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) strategies, programs and services for its founding institutions and associate members. This TDM
programming is essential to influence, support and encourage sustainable mobility options rather than
driving alone and reduce single occupancy vehicle use, greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled
(VMT), and traffic congestion.

Below is the suite of new and existing TDM programs, incentives, and services CATMA administers and
manages for the institutions and its membership:
  Bike/Walk Rewards Program
  Carpool and Vanpool Support Services
  CarShare Vermont Campus Program
  CATMA App (additional incentives, trip planning & event notices)
  Commuter Champion Prize Drawings
  Education, Awareness, and Outreach
  Guaranteed Ride Home
  Off-site Parking and Shuttles
  Transit Programs (i.e. Unlimited Access, subsidized fares)
  Trip Planning App

Off-Site Shared Parking and Shuttles
CATMA has a contract with Ride Your Bike, LLC for off-campus parking at 115 Lakeside Avenue lot. In
2025, the lease continued with 252 spaces of which UVM Medical Center utilized. UVM Medical Center
also leases off-site parking at Technology Park and at UVM near the hospital, in addition to off-site parking
at Fanny Allen—all sites are served by contracted employee shuttle.

Each institution operates or contracts shuttle services to best meet the needs of their respective
populations. Employees across the higher education institutions can utilize other institutions shuttles as
needed, provided there is capacity for the institution’s employees to utilize the service.

Green Mountain Transit (GMT)
Green Mountain Transit (GMT) offers many options for local and regional transit services for Champlain,
UVM, and UVMMC affiliates with stops on or close to each campus, with additional connections to the
Downtown Transit Center for transfers to a broader range of destinations.

CATMA’s agreement with GMT provides a means for Champlain College, UVM, and UVMMC affiliates to
access GMT’s public transit service (including ADA paratransit for qualifying individuals) at no cost. The
institutions pay an annual contribution to GMT. Faculty, staff, and students with valid campus affiliation
identification simply swipe or tap on the farebox. Affiliates at UVM and UVMMC are utilizing the new
GenFare app RideReady, and Champlain College affiliates swipe their ID.

In October 2025, UVMMC joined the Unlimited Access agreement that grants employees fully subsidized
transit. Previously, employees were offered subsidized transit passes.

Bike Share
CATMA continues to coordinate with regional partners and completed a regional bikeshare assessment in
summer 2025. Learning from past system experiences, stakeholders are thoughtful about the next
bikeshare model that delivers value, access, and impact in our unique region. CATMA along with
Chittenden County regional partners launched an electric assist bikeshare system with Bird in July of
2023. The Bird Electric Assist Bikeshare system consisted of approximately 200 electric-assist bikes that
could be accessed throughout the greater Burlington area. In January 2025, Bird informed CATMA that the
Bird bikes would not be returning to Chittenden County in Spring 2025 due to economics in a smaller
market.

Carshare Vermont
CarShare Vermont (CSVT) is a local non-profit
that aims to "provide an affordable, convenient,
and reliable alternative to private car
ownership." CSVT currently operates 26
vehicles shared by members throughout the
Burlington area. UVM and Champlain College
contribute funds directly to CSVT to support the
Campus Program. Affiliates are eligible to
participate in CarShare's subsidized Campus
Plan. Of CarShare's current 1,040 members,
approximately 19% are subscribed to the
Campus Plan and do not have a permit to park
on their respective campus. This plan provides a generous discount on annual membership and access to
CarShare's lowest driving rates. There are additional campus affiliates that have membership through
alternate rate plans (e.g. CarShare offers a free membership for income-eligible households). It is noted
that campus affiliates regularly use all CarShare vehicles in service and not just those located at UVM and
Champlain. CarShare Vermont contributes to a reduction in vehicle ownership and vehicle miles traveled
among its members. According to its 2025 Member Survey, 82% of members reported that they shed or
avoided buying a vehicle, and they drove 50% less on average since joining. It is estimated that for every
vehicle CarShare Vermont puts in service, 15 privately owned vehicles are removed. This provides many
communal benefits, including reduced demand for parking. See Appendix B from the 2025 JIPMP Annual
update for more information on Carshare Vermont.

4. Champlain College
Champlain College is a small, private, not-for-profit college in Burlington with sister campuses in
Montreal, Canada and Dublin, Ireland. Champlain College prides itself on preparing students for top fields
through career-oriented programming, earning accolades such as Princeton Review’s “Top Schools for
Game Design,” the Broadcast Education Association’s “Top Documentary Programs,” and one of
Niche.com’s top 30 “Best Schools for Information Technology.” Champlain College has been named
“Most Innovative School” in the North seven years in a row by U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s
Best Colleges.”

Champlain College’s main campus sits atop the hill overlooking downtown Burlington and Lake
Champlain. The main campus is primarily concentrated between Main Street and Cliff Street to the north
and south and Summit Street and South Union Street to the east and west. There are additional residence
halls just north of Main Street and east of Summit Street as well as downtown apartments at the corner of
St. Paul Street and Maple Street, four-tenths of a mile from the main campus. In addition, there are
academic and facility buildings located approximately 1.3 miles from the main campus off Lakeside
Avenue and Sears Lane.

Existing and Anticipated Infrastructure and Development
There are 47 buildings that provide Champlain College with 815,508 gsf of academic, administrative,
residential, athletic, dining, and facility space across the campus. In 2025, Champlain College sold their
North House building, and ended their leases at 158 South Willard and 115 Lakeside, resulting in a 46-
space reduction in parking. Over half of the buildings are small residential halls with a total of 1,394 beds
across all locations. These residential beds serve most students that are enrolled in on campus
programming. The campus infrastructure includes 514 spaces for parking, serving the range of users that
access the campus or reside on campus.

Project Updates & Future Conditions
Below are updates from projects previously described in the 2023-2028 JIPMP. Since the 2025 JIPMP
update, the Aiken Hall conversion has been completed and the Foster Hall addition estimates to be
completed in 2026. Previously, Foster Hall was expected to have a 900gsf increase in building area, it is
now expected to have just a 217gsf increase.

Parking Demand
The future projections of parking demand can be found in the 2023-2028 JIPMP which projected future
imbalance of parking demand and supply 5 years in the future. In the past year, Champlain’s student
population has not grown as rapidly as projected, which also modifies faculty and staff population. At this
time, Champlain does not predict they will meet the number of users forecasted in the 2023-2028 JIPMP.

Parking Counts & Utilization
The parking utilization counts are used to explore the on the ground demand for parking and demonstrated
over time. Counts began in 2019 and are conducted multiple times a year. In Fall 2021, utilization
rebounded to a maximum peak of 67%, trending consistently through 2023 with a slight decline the last
two years. In 2024, spring counts were omitted due to limited resources. The 2025 parking utilization peak
was in the winter at 61%.

Commute Trends & TDM Strategies
Commute Trends Based on 2025 Survey
 • 63% of Champlain College employees drive alone as their primary commute mode. According to
 US Census Data (2023), the Chittenden County drive alone rate is 60%.
 • Telework as a primary mode has dropped to 5% of employees from 27% in 2024. However, 22%
 report teleworking as a mode they use in general.
 • Of the people that reported teleworking as a mode they use in 2025, 27% telework 3 or more
 days. In 2024, 59% reported teleworking 3 or more days. Across years, there is a shift in telework
 behavior where more employees are teleworking fewer days.
 • The most popular bus routes are the #1
 Williston, #2 Essex Junction, and #6
 Shelburne route.
 • 44% of employees live within 5 miles of their
 workplace.
 • Only 25% of off-campus students that live
 within one mile of campus report driving
 alone while 63% report using an active mode
 of transportation.
 • 74% of students that live further than one
 mile of campus drive alone and 11% take the
 bus.
 • Students living on campus primarily travel off campus by walking (31%) or taking public transit
 (29%).

These trends reflect all times, not just peak time. Refer to Table 8.1 for Champlain College’s Peak Parking
Demand.

 When analyzing mode split, exploring commute distance trends
 helps us understand travel behavior. That is why we split students

 Fleet
 Champlain College has a total of 15 fleet vehicles on their campus in designated “Service Only” spaces.
 Three passenger vans are typically parked in Rowell and Cushing, and eleven facilities vehicles are
 typically parked in the Sears Lane lot near the facilities building. There are no current plans to grow the
 fleet.

 TDM and Congestion Management Strategies
 Telework
 Champlain College provides an Interim Workplace Flexibility policy that was updated in December 2022.
 Workplace flexibility is an opportunity to support employees’ safety, work life, along with their personal
 and family responsibilities while still supporting the College’s need for coverage, efficiency, and
 productivity. The workplace flexibility assesses the job and employee’s suitability prior to approving a work
 arrangement. This varies depending upon the employee’s role and the specific nature of the work required.
 The work arrangement can be occasional, hybrid, or fully remote and approval is at the supervisor’s
 discretion and must be reviewed with the functional area’s Dean, Vice President, COO, or Provost.

 Parking Policy & Permits
 Champlain College diligently monitors and enforces the parking plan through the year, with parking
 enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Every Champlain College affiliate, employees and students
 alike, are required to get a parking pass for their vehicle every semester. Lots on the main campus near
 academic buildings are either designated for main campus employees with an appropriate permit (i.e.,
 Zone 1 permit holders) or pay per use on weekdays between 8 AM and 5 PM for appropriate permit
 holders. It is noted that the pricing is structured to be most expensive in the lots closest to the core of
 campus and in the highest demand, with lots further out becoming less expensive.


 16


 Page 21 of 40
Champlain College made an agreement with the City of Burlington to allow a small number of locations
where on-street parking is permitted for Champlain affiliates. It was agreed that all other streets on the
“Hill” are prohibited to affiliate parking. Champlain College maintains parking enforcement to discourage
misuse of on street parking around campus, as well as campus lots monitored and patrolled daily. The
streets that are frequently utilized by college employees and students are streets that fall within 2 blocks
of the campus. Affiliated vehicles can be ticketed in accordance with Champlain College’s parking policy.
The College issued 987 citations and 1,591 warnings during the 2024-2025 school year and 2025 summer
programming. This is more than during the previous school year and summer where there were a
collective 1,625 citations and warnings given.
 Number of Permits Issued
In the Fall of 2025, Champlain College issued 674 Permit User 2025 2024 2023
total permits—293 student permits, 357 employee Student 293 417 401
permits, and 24 contractor permits. In 2024, the
 Employee 357 315 342
total number of permits issued was 755.
 Contractor 24 23 18
 Total 674 755 761
After years of stagnant pricing, Champlain College
implemented a comprehensive parking rate restructuring in the Fall 2025. This included transitioning
previously free lots to paid parking, increasing ParkMobile rates across all paid lots, raising prices for Zone
2 and Zone 5 residential student permits, introducing a $10 processing fee for Zone 1 commuter permits,
and establishing a plan for annual increases to both ParkMobile rates and residential permit fees.

On-Campus Shuttles
Parking at 175 Lakeside Avenue is free for
Zone 1 Employee permit holders. For Zone 1
Commuter permit holders, parking is available
at a rate of $0.50/hour Monday through Friday,
between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Champlain
operates a free shuttle service seven days a
week between Lakeside Campus, 194 Saint
Paul Street, and Main Campus. All Zone 2
permit holders are automatically enrolled in
CATMA’s Guaranteed Ride Home program, which provides a free cab ride if the shuttles are not operating.
All Zone 1 permit holders are also eligible to enroll. Locations of the Champlain shuttles can be tracked in
real-time providing up to date information to users via website or mobile app.

Transit
Champlain College has been investing in the Unlimited Access Program since 2006. Even when GMT
paused fares in March 2020 due to Covid, Champlain College provided annual contributions through May
2024 when fares were reinstated. Champlain College has been collaborating with GMT to provide the
Champlain population free bus fare through an Unlimited Access program agreement via CATMA.

Champlain College affiliates swipe their Champlain College IDs to ride the bus for free. Refer to the TDM
Matrix (Table 3.1) for 2025 Transit data.

Bicycle Infrastructure & Parking
Champlain College is recognized as a “Silver-level Bicycle
Friendly University”. Champlain employees and students
have access to bike racks throughout campus as well as
indoor bike storage in certain buildings. There are accessible
showers on campus for those who bike. Bicycle pumps and
other tools are located throughout campus. Refer to the map
on the right for bike racks and more bicycle facilities
available here.

Climate Plan
Sustain Champlain is the overarching campaign for Champlain College to integrate sustainability into the
entire campus. Sustain Champlain focuses on institutions, operations, academics, and culture. Under
their operations section they provide resources for transportation initiatives such as CATMA
memberships, access to free rides on GMT buses, shower facilities for bicyclists, additionally locations to
access bike parking, shuttle stops, and CarShare vehicles. In 2015, Champlain College revisited their
Active Transportation Plan which sets out to reduce motorized vehicle use for Champlain affiliates, create
an active transportation culture, decrease CO2 emissions, and create safe, functional, and
environmentally friendly transportation options for employees and students.

5. University of Vermont
Founded in 1791, the University of Vermont has been a cornerstone of Burlington throughout the period
following European settlement of the area, established prior to the founding of the City itself. Known as
UVM, or University of the Green Mountains in Latin, the University prides itself on being the ideal size to
foster academic and research prominence while encouraging close faculty-student mentorships across
all levels of study. The location of UVM as part of the fabric of Burlington and the state of Vermont, and
near Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains, enriches student educational experience and enables
service to the state’s communities through its land grant mission.

athletic, student support, facilities, and other purposes. Of these buildings, 70 support academic and
research purposes and 49 support residential purposes. The residential buildings support 5,775 beds for
students to reside on campus with an additional 618 beds for students and 164 beds for faculty and staff
provided on-campus through third party partnerships. In South Burlington, UVM has entered into third-
party partnerships to provide additional housing for employees and students. For the 2026/2027
academic year, 265 beds will be available for upper class undergraduate students at University Commons
and 316 beds will be available for graduate and medical students and employees at Catamount Run. Both
complexes are located on Market Street in South Burlington and are served by Green Mountain Transit.

Project Updates
Below (Table 5.2) shares the projects listed in the 2023-2028 JIPMP and the 2025 Annual Update that
require an update to status. Project completion dates are extended or yet to be determined, and the
Living/Learning Outdoor Lab & Site Improvements have an associated change in parking of -1 (this was
previously -5).

In summer 2025, UVM welcomed Dr. Marlene Tromp as the 28th president of the University. With this
change in leadership, a new Strategic Plan, and the new student housing available in South Burlington,
UVM is assessing capital needs and priorities, including future student housing. Projects that were
anticipated in the 2023-2028 JIPMP do not currently have estimated completion dates as UVM undergoes
this capital planning assessment phase.

Site Improvements
 1. UVM and the City of Burlington have engaged in a process to rezone Trinity Campus to enable the creation of additional
 student housing on campus. As of this report, the City Council has tabled the proposed rezoning language, and it is
 unclear whether housing at Trinity Campus will move forward. UVM is actively exploring options to increase student
 housing on Trinity and/or elsewhere. UVM is not in a position to discuss the other sites publicly at this time. None of the
 sites are associated with a project from the previous JIPMP to remove Coolidge Hall, which is not moving forward
 currently. The low end of range of potential gsf estimates was used for totaling change in area.
 2. This facility is estimated to house between 200 and 400 parking spaces. Though it is off-site, it may impact on-campus
 demand depending on UVM policy.
 3. Due to recent leadership changes at the university, priorities and resources are being reassessed, and as a result, the
 future student housing projects no longer have a confirmed completion timeline.

Lot Counts and Parking Utilization
The parking supply for the campus is currently 4,997
spaces. Sites within the campus that UVM ground
leases (and their associated parking spaces), such as
Redstone Lofts, Redstone Commons, and Centennial
Court Faculty/Staff Apartments, are not included in this
total. All the counts conducted at UVM have not
exceeded the mark of 90%, a metric that is widely used
for the maximum effective capacity for off-street
parking by planners at similar institutions across the
country.

Fleet
UVM has 185 fleet vehicles that park overnight within the City of Burlington. The university has designated
“Service Vehicle Only” spaces for day use on the core of campus to facilitate day-to-day operational
needs. Emergency response vehicles and UVM Buses are parked in or adjacent to the Catamount West
when not in use. CATS shuttle buses will transition parking to Bioresearch Complex in the future.

TDM and Congestion Management Strategies
Telework
UVM offers flexible working arrangements and telework
policies. Telework requests are reviewed on a case-by-
case basis in the context of established and consistent
guidelines. Telework requests are approved or denied at
the discretion of the appropriate Dean, Vice President
or Vice Provost and may be discontinued at any time at
the University’s sole discretion.

Parking Policy & Permits
The University of Vermont provides clear guidance for all campus community members to follow regarding
parking policies. It is mandatory that all UVM affiliates obtain a permit for their vehicles each semester.
Permits are affiliated with specific parking zones.

First year students living in residential halls are prohibited from registering a vehicle for campus parking.
The University has determined approved, eligible employment, documented medical needs, ROTC, and
Equine to be the only exceptions. Students are required to take a parking permit course prior to receiving a
parking permit. This course is designed to educate potential permit holders on the alternatives to and
impact of driving alone.

UVM has enabled technology to assist their diligent efforts in monitoring and enforcing the parking plan on
campus. UVM has implemented a virtual parking permit system that utilizes license plate reader
technology. LPR equipped service vehicles monitor all the parking areas on campus routinely, identifying
the vehicles parked on campus and whether they are parked appropriately given the permit type.

In 2025, 6,744 parking citations were issued. The most common violations of parking with no valid permit
($50-$110), parking in a restricted area ($50-$110), or parking in an expired space ($25-$85). Fines
increase for Habitual Offenders. These fines act as a significant deterrent to improper parking on campus.
In addition to the daily monitoring, quarterly counts are conducted for a three-day period at every lot during
peak times (i.e. intervals starting at 10AM, 12PM, and 2PM).

In the Fall of 2025, UVM issued Number of Permits Issued

UVM expanded the proximate zone to South Burlington in 2024 that determines student permit eligibility
as a result of the new Catamount Run and Catamount East buildings. Click here for the updated UVM
Commuter Proximate Zone Map. The Catamount Run and Catamount East buildings have access to 15-
minute GMT bus service by the #1 and #11 routes.

Transit
UVM has been investing in the Unlimited Access Program since 2003. Even when GMT paused fares in
March 2020 due to Covid, UVM provided annual contributions through May 2024 when fares were
reinstated. UVM has been collaborating with GMT to provide the UVM population free bus fare through an
Unlimited Access program agreement via CATMA. UVM employees and students use GMT’s RideReady
App to access the bus. Through the app, UVM students and employees can pull up a QR code that they
scan upon entering the bus. UVM began using the app in December 2025. Please refer to the TDM Matrix
(Table 3.2) for 2025 Transit data.

On-Campus Shuttles
UVM provides an on-campus shuttle (CATS) for students
that runs 7:30 am until 10:30 pm. On the weekdays, these
shuttles generally run every 20 minutes between
Redstone and Central campus, every 17 minutes on the
on-campus route during the daytime and during the
evening. The weekend service of the on-campus shuttle
runs every 35 minutes in the evenings. Locations of the
CATS shuttles can be tracked with the Real-Time CATS
Shuttle Locations in the providing up to date information
to users via website or Peak Transit app.

UVM also offers CATSride as a shuttle service on a first come, first serve basis. The intent of this shuttle
service is to provide transportation between UVM sites within 10 miles of central campus. UVM
employees and students can reserve a ride with the demand response-based service by scheduling in
advance or can reach out directly to the shuttle for same day service. With the addition of Catamount
East, located at 61 North Dorset Street in South Burlington, brand-new student housing that opened in
August 2024, UVM is operating a shuttle from 7am-6pm between the new building, the Davis Center, and
Patrick Gym on a 20-minute loop.

Bicycle Infrastructure and Parking
UVM is the only university in Vermont recognized as a Gold-level Bicycle
Friendly University as of November 2021 and is one of only 31 universities
nationwide to carry this designation. UVM has bike racks located throughout
campus, indoor bicycle parking and pumps in most residence halls, and three
fix-it stations. UVM Bikes, a student club, operates a bike co-op on campus
overseen by Transportation & Parking Service and Office of Sustainability
advisors. The co-op leases bikes and offers bike mechanic services to UVM
students and employees. Bike infrastructure and facilities can be found on this map.

Planning Studies
The University of Vermont has a dedicated commitment to sustainably and creatively planning
transportation for the campus. UVM has undergone multiple planning studies which all have a goal of
reducing the number of SOVs on campus. Studies include the UVM Active Transportation Plan (2017), the
2023-2040 Comprehensive Sustainability Plan, and the 2022-2032 Campus Plan.

Climate Plan
UVM released a 2023-2040 Comprehensive Sustainability Plan, integrating the goals related to
academics, research, and planning for the University. UVM is also undertook the largest electric vehicle
charging investment from an employer in the State of Vermont, which includes 54 new fleet electric
vehicle charging ports and 79 public charging ports.

 6. University of Vermont Medical Center
University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) is designated as a Level I Trauma Center situated in an
academic teaching and research hospital serving the Vermont and Northern New York region. The campus
in Burlington is the hub of UVM Health, an integrated healthcare system and works in partnership with an
extensive network of hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the region. Partnership with the Larner
College of Medicine and College of Nursing and Health Sciences at UVM enables training for the next
generation of healthcare professionals and innovation through advancing research.

The UVMMC campus sits on the hill in Burlington
adjacent to the UVM core campus area. Founded in
1879, the original hospital was partially housed in the
Mary Fletcher Hospital building that still sits on the
site today. The hospital’s campus has expanded over
the years, adding buildings and square footage to
support the hospital’s mission and growing role in
serving the communities of Vermont and Northern
New York.


Current Conditions
Users (Employees, & Patients)
UVMMC employs a total of 6,489 individuals who are assigned to the Medical Center Campus, 1 South
Prospect Street, and other Burlington sites. On any given day, 405 Volunteers are on campus who utilize
visitor spaces if needed.

The UVMMC is a hospital with 580 2025 2024 2023

That accounts for over 1,324,072 in person appointments or procedures across the year and over
1,387,000 total visits.

Square Footage Requirements and Parking Supply
In February 2025, UVMMC and the City of Burlington successfully executed a twenty-year Land Use MOU.
This is the second long-standing agreement of its kind and serves as a vehicle for the hospital to share its
general intent regarding its long-range planning. UVMMC worked closely with the City of Burlington, City
Council, and the neighbors of Ward 1 to find and establish common ground for future planning. The MOU
sets forth a number of commitments regarding careful planning on the UVMMC campus including planning
for stormwater, traffic, parking, and other potential infrastructure impacts. This included our stated
commitment to continuing to innovate solutions as part of our participation and leadership in CATMA. One
immediate concrete step UVMMC took after executing the MOU was to work with Green Mountain Transit
(GMT) to develop an unlimited bus pass program benefit for UVMMC employees coming to work from the
GMT catchment areas in our next fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2025.

There are no active projects to report that would change the building areas or parking on the Medical
Center campus in 2026. UVMMC is developing long-range plans to address bed capacity options on the
Medical Center Campus, expansion of the Emergency Department and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
(NICU). They also continue to evaluate long term options to address the structural concerns with the
McClure Garage.

The Miller Building addition was the last increase in square footage. To view the previous data, check the
2024 JIPMP Annual Update. The Main Medical Center Campus has 840,673 gsf serving the hospital’s in-
patient units, 60,554 gsf serving educational purposes, and an additional 850,370 gsf serving other
purposes. Satellite sites within Burlington account for an additional 186,165 gsf of building space, with 1
South Prospect making up the majority of that area with 149,404 nsf. The hospital’s infrastructure is
served by 3,785 parking spaces, with 2,500 of the spaces in on-site facilities including the ACC Garage,
Emergency Room Lot, McClure Garage, South Lot, and 1 South Prospect. Off-site lots include 1,237
additional spaces with 48 spaces available at other off-site Burlington satellite facilities and the remaining
at lots served by shuttle services. In 2025, the UVMMC began leasing 100 additional spaces from UVM at
the Centennial Lot.

UVMMC Security Department. Parking Permits are
issued, and color coded based on parking assignment (on-site lot or satellite lot). The satellite lots include
a free shuttle to the main campus. Generally on-site parking is limited to permits reserved for senior staff,
physicians, residents, business needs, and medical needs. For on-call employees, parking is also
available on site. In 2025, there were 3,839 permits issued for parking on-site of the 8,305 permits issued
total.

Telehealth
Telehealth continues to serve the patient population of the UVM Medical Center. A significant rise in
telehealth visits occurred during the COVID pandemic. This practice has continued to serve some
baseline portion of visits that would otherwise be in person. For 2025, approximately 5% of appointments
were served via telehealth, amounting to almost 63,000 additional patient appointments over the year
served without a need for patient transportation to or parking on campus.

Telework
UVMMC has a Remote and Hybrid Work Policy to
increase employee engagement, job satisfaction,
and expand workforce. By allowing remote work,
UVMMC expects to realize the efficiencies of
decreased turnover, reduced office and parking
space needs, and increased work productivity.
There are several remote designations, On-site Flex
(0-30%), Hybrid Flex (31-70%), Remote Flex (71-
100%). The amount of time spent remotely is
indicated by the numerical values.

Campus Shuttles
For employees accessing the Medical Center Campus through off-site parking, UVMMC contracts with a
bus company to serve the off-site lots with shuttle service. The shuttles serve AM and PM peaks with more
frequency of service and more shuttle buses in circulation to serve start and end of shift transit. The off-
site lots generally have between 59 and 76 shuttle runs per day serving trips between the hours of 4:15 AM
and 9:20 PM. The Catamount Lot is in close proximity of the Medical Center Campus, with many users
choosing to walk to and from the hospital from this location.

Transit
UVMMC transitioned to CATMA’s Unlimited Access program in October 2025, providing the UVMMC
population free bus fare. UMMC employees use GMT’s RideReady App to access the bus. Through the
app, employees can pull up a QR code that they scan upon entering the bus. Please refer to the TDM
Matrix (Table 3.3) for 2025 Transit data.
 In October 2025, UVMMC joined
UVMMC continues to support subsidized ferry service for the Unlimited Access program
employees that reside in New York to utilize Lake Champlain giving employees free fare on all
Ferries for commuting purposes. In 2025, UVMMC issued public transit rides through
1,103 car and drive passes, 148 passenger passes, and 1 GMT’s Ride Ready App. Prior to

Bike Infrastructure and Parking
In October 2024, UVMMC unveiled the re-envisioned covered bike parking just outside of the McClure
building to maximize the space available and accommodate more bike parking near a key entrance of the
facility. This bike storage facility is a secure bike enclosure of 60 spots that is accessed by using their
employee badge. This project is just one example of the multimodal enhancements taking place to better
serve active or alternative modes of transportation to and from UVMMC.

Carpool Incentive
UVMMC has a robust and mature carpooling policy for employees with a strong incentive program.
Employees who carpool are provided with the opportunity to park in more desirable parking lots, receive
gas coupons, and utilize the guaranteed ride home program from CATMA. Employees who wish to carpool
must register as a carpool group with the UVMMC Security Department. In 2025, the carpool program
issued 113 carpool permits for 274 participants.

Climate Plan
In addition to UVMMC’s commitment to TDM and strategies to reduce single occupancy vehicle travel,
UVMMC has partnerships with Burlington 2030 and the Vermont Climate Pledge Coalition to build a more
sustainable future. UVMMC aims to reduce our total carbon emissions by minimizing waste across our
hospitals, investing in renewable energy sources and incentives to save both energy and money. In 2024,
UVMMC received the Greenhealth Emerald Award, which recognizes health care organizations for
advanced sustainability programs, commitment to reducing environmental impacts and integration of
sustainability into operations and organizational culture. UVMMC has also been recognized as one of the
top 10 hospitals nationwide for water conservation and efficiency by the Practice Greenhealth
Environmental Excellence Awards.

 7. Appendix A: Data Collection Methodology
 Lot Counts
 The institutions continue conducting lot counts three times a year for three days (Tuesday, Wednesday,
 and Thursday) and three times (10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM) to support the 5-year and annual JIPMPs.

 There are advantages and drawbacks to using lot counts or survey data to estimate demand. Though lot
 counts are an inexpensive method to calculate parking demand, they are also usually only representative
 of a limited time frame. This limitation means typical peak demand may not be captured due to variability
 (i.e. seasonal mode change, time-off, etc.), and may underestimate demand. Survey data may
 overestimate demand because it fails to capture daily variation seen in lot counts. However, survey data
 can break down demand by user group, understand different mode trends, and can forecast future
 demand patterns. For more information about the advantages and drawbacks of lot counts and survey
 data for estimating demand, please see the 2020-2022 JIPMP Appendix B which was provided by UVM’s
 Transportation Research Center.

 Survey Administration
 The 2025 CATMA Student and Employee Transportation Surveys were launched on October 8, 2025. The
 purpose of the survey is to collect data on transportation choices of employees and students to examine
 mode use trends, TDM effectiveness, and how residential location may impact these choices. The survey
 is a mix of close-ended (multiple choice) and open-ended questions for qualitative insight.

 Direct solicitation emails were sent to employees and students with three reminders between survey
 launch and close (October 31, 2025). For Champlain College and UVM Medical Center, emails to take the
 survey to employees working at Chittenden County worksites. In the case of UVM, emails were sent to a
 random sample of 1,000 employees and 2,000 students. Through the new target outreach approach with
 UVM, survey reminders were sent only to those populations that were not meeting the target threshold.

 Survey Weighting
 With guidance from UVM’s Office of Institutional Research (OIR), CATMA refined the weighting process
 and identified variables that could impact commute behavior:
 • Employment status (faculty, staff)
 • Employee and Student parking permit status (permit holders, no permit)
 • Employee zip code (within Chittenden County, outside of Chittenden County)
 • Student level (undergraduate, non-undergraduate)

 • Student residence (on campus, off campus)

Margin of Error
The margin of error is the range within which a true value may be found given a certain confidence interval.
All margins of error reported in the 2025 JIPMP are within a 95% confidence interval. The margins of error
were calculated using the Complex Samples modules in SPSS and were found for the peak parking
demand percent for each user group. For each of the institutions, the composite margin of error was found
by summing the squares of each user group’s margin of error and taking the square of root of the sum.
Knowing the margin of error is useful, because within a 95% confidence interval, we can know the total
parking demand for any institution is above or below a certain percentage of the estimated demand given.

Peak Parking Demand
Peak parking demand percentage is calculated by finding the time the most auto users are on each
campus. For employees and off-campus students, auto users are either those who drive alone and half of
those carpool as their main mode. For on-campus students, auto users are all individuals who own a car.

Transportation Surveys.

 1. Peak parking demand is calculated from data collected in the 2025 CATMA Employee and Student Transportation
 Survey using the methodology described in Appendix A. "% of Users" consists only of car users who are on campus at
 peak time (Tuesdays 10a-12p).
 2. Champlain has 15 fleet vehicles but estimates only ~40% attempt to park on campus at peak time.
 3. Total peak parking demand based on 2025 survey data has a margin of error of ±80, or 12%. This MOE is reflective only
 of employees because students were not weighted in 2025. See Appendix A for survey weighting methodology.
 4. Total Parking Supply does not include 145 on-street parking spaces in Designated Zones. The total parking supply has
 reduced from 2024 because of the sale of North House and ending leases at 158 South Willard and 115 Lakeside,
 resulting in 46 fewer spaces.

 2. The employee user group does not include non-Burlington employees.
 3. Off-Campus Students does not include Continuing Education students.
 4. Fleet vehicles not located on Main Campus or in Burlington are not included in this count.
 5. Neither employee nor student data was weighted, therefore there is no margin of error to report.

 1. Peak parking demand is calculated from data collected in the 2025 CATMA Employee and Student Transportation
 Survey using the methodology described in Appendix A. "% of Users" consists only of car users who are on campus at
 peak time (Wednesday from 12-2pm).
 2. Average daily patient estimates are based on total annual in person appointments and procedures by location for 2025
 at the Medical Center and 1 South Prospect facilities. Patient and visitor parking is allocated to 50% of the parking
 supply on-site. Policies are in place should the patient parking demand exceed this supply.
 3. Employees of 1 South Prospect assigned to Centennial have been allowed to park on-site due to suspended shuttle
 service.
 4. The peak parking demand has a margin of error of 1% or ±22 spaces.
