Who is VPOP?
VPOP is a grassroots organization advocating for more livable, lively, and resilient cities in Vermont. We believe that first and foremost, Cities are for People, and aim to analyze the current shortcomings and future needs of our cities through that lens.
Our mission is to organize the community outreach and local policy advocacy needed to make our cities more affordable, safe, and vibrant for everyone.
In practice, this can look like pushing for diverse and robust active transportation and public transit systems, or campaigning for zoning changes that legalize dynamic, human-scale, mixed-use neighborhoods... all the while explaining how these changes positively impact our affordability crisis and our looming climate goals.
2024 BTV Candidate Survey
Our second annual BTV Candidate Survey is live! We received responses from 12 out of 19 candidates, including several complete wards of city council candidates and both major party candidates for mayor.
This year's survey is split into two main focuses: Housing and Transportation. Read the full survey results here.
