VT Edition: Chuck Gallagher, Bill Shearer & Tom Williams on the price of gas

Tuesday June 3, 2008
Mitch Wertlieb

Gas prices have been inching up for a long time, but the recent spike is, for the first time, changing the way many of us get around. There are big increases in public transportation ridership in and car dealers say the SUV is out and the gas efficient car is in. Chuck Gallagher is the Public Transit Administrator at the Vermont Agency of Transportation.  Bill Shearer is owner and president of three car dealerships in Vermont.  Tom Williams is the Regional Manager of Triple Northern New England for Vermont.  They spoke with VPR's Mitch Wertlieb about the price of gas and its effects.
