The company attempted to expand service to the east to areas such as White River Junction, Vermont and Lebanon, New Hampshire in August 2009, following the acquisition and dissolution of the Vermont Transit brand by Greyhound.
There are 65 vehicles in MVRTD's fleet, most of which are wheelchair accessible. The company's main hub is housed in the Marble Valley Regional Transit Center, on the lower level of the West St parking garage in downtown Rutland. The Bus had an annual ridership of 475,900 in fiscal year 2010.
As of March 3, 2015, trip planning on Google Maps is available for all MVRTD bus routes.
