Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) today announced it will again modify its vehicle incentive programs for Vermonters whose personal vehicles were damaged by flooding in an effort to provide increased financial support to households affected by last week's flooding and to expedite the transition to plug-in electric vehicles.
"Me and my team are doing everything we can to give immediate relief to Vermonters as we continue to assess and respond to the needs," said Governor Phil Scott. "This program will help those whose vehicles were flooded upgrade to a new vehicle that's better for the environment."
Effective today, AOT is offering a package of enhanced incentives for income-eligible Vermonters:
"As our Agency works to restore the state's critical infrastructure, we also recognize the devastating personal losses sustained by Vermonters during the flooding last week," said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn. "We hope that these changes to our vehicle incentive programs will help people who are struggling after the recent flooding and also help curb the worst effects of climate change."
