H.851 is a proposed bill that aims to establish several pilot programs under the Agency of Transportation in Vermont. One key component of the bill is to incentivize existing gas stations to install electric vehicle supply equipment, while also enhancing facilities and services that promote social drivers of health for electric vehicle travelers. This includes the addition of amenities such as food services, seating areas, rest spaces, shower facilities, and restrooms at these stations.

Additionally, the bill seeks to stabilize and expand the State's public transit systems by creating incentives for individuals to utilize existing transit lines, which may include prize opportunities or discounts at local businesses. It also encourages public transit agencies to explore the use of autonomous vehicles to improve service frequency, extend hours, and connect existing routes. Furthermore, the bill proposes the establishment of a State-operated rideshare service to provide on-demand transportation across Vermont, with revenues generated from this service directed to support the state's public transit agencies.
