Southeast Vermont Transit

The Deerfield Valley Transit Association (DVTA) was formed in mid-1996 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to provide bus service to condos at Mount Snow. The service was branded as "MOOver", with buses painted to resemble Holstein cows. Operation began in November 1996; on December 20, 1999, the system was expanded to serve Readsboro, Wardsboro, East Dover, and Whitingham. The DVTA began operating service between Wilmington and Brattleboro on October 19, 2004. Construction of a DVTA maintenance facility in Wilmington, first planned in 2002, began in April 2014 and was completed in 2015. The former DVTA routes retained the MOOver brand, while the former CRT routes retained their branding as The Current. On January 22, 2020, Southeast Vermont Transit announced that it was ending the branding of CRT routes as The Current and was consolidating them into the MOOver brand. After 14 months of consolidation, Southeast Vermont Transit fully merged these two brands on April 1, 2021. The original MOOver brand routes were now called Wilmington MOOver while the former The Current routes were called Rockingham MOOver. ==Service==
