The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is a Vermont executive agency (or cabinet agency). Its purpose is to develop and execute policy on transportation for the U.S. state of Vermont. The agency was created in 1979 by combining the departments of Highway, Motor Vehicles, Aeronautics and Public Transit. Brian Searles was appointed Secretary in 2011; Sue Minter serves as Deputy Secretary.
In addition to highway building and maintenance, VTrans oversees 451 miles of state-owned railway and ten state-owned airports. VTrans also maintains two FCC licensed low power radio stations for broadcasting highway information: WAOT-LP in Derby, and WRAN-LP in Randolph.

Famous quotes containing the words vermont and/or agency:
“Anything I can say about New Hampshire
Will serve almost as well about Vermont,
Excepting that they differ in their mountains.
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
