History
A private 501(c)(3) non-profit public transportation company, CRT was established in November, 2003. In 2003, it provided nearly 60,000 trips a year. In fiscal year 2010, it had an annual ridership of 126,500. The Brattleboro BeeLine, which CRT also operates for local routes in Brattleboro, served 63,000 patrons during that same time period. CRT's fleet consists of 26 wheelchair accessible vehicles, with bike racks on all vehicles.
As of January 19, 2015, trip planning via CRT "Current" buses became available on Google Maps, including the Brattleboro BeeLine bus system.
On July 1, 2015, a merger between the Current and the MOOver was completed. The resulting entity is now collectively known as Southeast Vermont Transit.

Housed there is a 20,000 square feet (1,858 m2) building consisting of bus storage bays, offices and a maintenance center.
