Vermont Driver Restoration Day


What is Driver Restoration Day?

On December 11, 2015 the Windsor County State’s Attorney’s office in collaboration with the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Judicial Bureau and the Agency of Transportation will hold a Driver’s Restoration Day. 

The purpose of this program is help people who have delinquent traffic tickets get their license reinstated by accepting $25 per delinquent ticket. 

The goal is to reduce the number of suspended drivers and improve the safety of our roadways by encouraging people to drive fully licensed and fully insured. 

When and where is Driver Restoration Day?

Driver Restoration Day will take place on Friday, December 11, 2015 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the State Office Building at 118 Prospect Street, White River Junction.

There are no appointments, and given the level of interest in the program individuals should expect long wait times.

Who qualifies for Driver Restoration Day?

Any Windsor County resident who has had their license suspended due to a failure or inability to pay the associated fines. Tickets must be delinquent; meaning a ticket is more than 75 days past due.

People whose current suspension is a result of a DUI or certain other serious offenses are not eligible for this program.

How Does Driver Restoration Day work?

Eligible Vermonters will be able to get their license reinstated by paying $25 per outstanding ticket.

 If an individual has five tickets, they’d need to come with $125 in order to get their license reinstated.

>>>What information should I bring to Driver Restoration Day?<<<

Be sure to bring this information with you on December 11th: Driver’s Name, Date of Birth, PID (License) Number, Ticket number(s), Location of ticket(s), Phone number.

How can I pay?

Acceptable forms of payment are limited to check or money order. Cash will not be accepted.

How Long Will it Take to get your license reinstated?

The Judicial Bureau will process payments as quickly as possible.

Depending on the number of individuals who attend Driver Restoration Day it may take a number of weeks for individuals to get reinstatement ready.

After attending Driver Restoration Day, individuals will receive paperwork in the mail with information on their license reinstatement.

What other resources are available to help me get my driver’s license back?

Vermont’s Court Division DLS Program is available statewide and may be a resource for you.

Through this program, some people with suspended licenses may be eligible for a reduction in their debt, or may be eligible for community service or participation in an educational program in exchange for a reduction in fines and fees owed.

More information about the program is at: http://vtcourtdiversion.org/driving-with-license-suspended…/

What if I still have questions?

If you have additional questions please contact the Windsor County State's Attorney's Office at 802-295-8870 or the Governor's Office at 802-828-3333

Doris Hilma Whitcomb, 96

Mrs. Doris Hilma Whitcomb

Doris Hilma Schelde Whitcomb, wife of the late Richard F. Whitcomb and long-time resident of Perkinsville, VT, died on November 1, 2015, at Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community in Windsor, VT, at the age of 96.

Loved by her extended family and an extensive network of friends, Doris will be remembered for her many community and church activities over the decades.

Born in Dorchester, MA, on March 15, 1919, to Danish Immigrant Christian Schelde, and Swedish Immigrant Hilma Lindskog Schelde, she graduated from Dorchester High School for Girls in 1936 and subsequently completed training at the Boston Clerical School. She worked as a secretary at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in Boston until her marriage to the late J. Philip Stapleton at Dorchester, MA, in 1947. After living briefly in Lynn, MA, the couple moved to Springfield, VT, in 1951 and shortly thereafter purchased “The Pink House” in Perkinsville, VT, where they raised their three children.

She was an active member of the PTA at Perkinsville Elementary School, and eventually became the school’s secretary. She was also a Girl Scout and a Cub Scout leader during her children’s school years. She was a founding member of Planned Parenthood of VT (now Planned Parenthood of Northern New England) and was very proud of her accomplishments within that organization. She was also very active in the Springfield Unitarian Universalist Church.

She loved music, studied piano in her youth and continued playing into her 70’s, sang in church choir, Community Chorus, and taught her children to sing in harmony on long car trips.

In 1973, Doris married Richard F. Whitcomb of Springfield, and the two lived in the Pink House. She was the secretary at Park Street Elementary School in Springfield from 1970 until she retired in 1977, and thereafter served as the school’s volunteer coordinator and a special needs aide. She also became an active member of the Weathersfield Historical Society, and played a key role in organizing the library at the Society’s Dan Foster House in Weathersfield Center.

She eventually lost most of her vision to macular degeneration, but with assistive technology was able to continue to use computers and email into the last years of her life, and "read" hundreds of books on tape. She also worked as a volunteer for the Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

After breaking her hip in 2008 she sought rehabilitation at Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community and decided to live out her years there. This allowed her to continue her active lifestyle. She had good friends there and especially loved the friendship of staff members who provided her care. She was proud to be the first resident to have a computer and demand an internet connection at Cedar Hill.

Doris is survived by her children, Linda & David Olsson of Woburn, MA, David Stapleton & Joyce Manchester of Waterbury, VT, & Tom & Elinor Stapleton of Harvard, MA; stepdaughters Ann Whitcomb of Springfield, VT, & Polly Whitcomb of Shelburne, VT; grand-children, Michael Johansson of Puerto Rico, Dianne Johnson of Proctorsville, VT, Kristen and Saari Greylock of Shelburne Falls, MA, Karel Olsson of Brookline, MA, Megan Stapleton of Waterbury, VT, Anna Stapleton of New York, NY, Meredith Stapleton of Philadelphia, PA, and Philip Stapleton of Cambridge, MA; stepgrandchildren, Suzanne Ruse of Putney, VT, Mark and Wendi Germaine of Chester, VT; and stepgreatgrandson Max Ruse of Johnson, VT.


A celebration of her life will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Saturday, December 5th at 1 pm, 21 Fairground Road, Springfield, VT, followed by interment at Parker Hill Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Vermont Assoc. for the Blind & Visually Impaired, 38 Park Pl. #2, Brattleboro, VT 05301; or to the Unitarian Universalist Church, P.O. Box 944, Springfield, VT, 05156.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Roy Funeral Home and Cremation Service.

Suspension of Free Electronic Waste Collection at Weathersfield Transfer Station

Suspension of Free Electronic Waste Collection
at Weathersfield Transfer Station

 Waste Recycling / Commodity Value Processing - United Electronic ...
         Effective immediately, the Town of Weathersfield has suspended the free collection of electronic waste at the Weathersfield Transfer Station. We will accept electronic waste only as a pay item.

         Until September 30th, the Transfer Station was one of 125 sites in the state participating in the state’s free electronic waste recycling program. However, we have now been notified that the contractor hired by the state to recycle our waste will no longer be picking up any e-waste from Weathersfield under this free program.

         The suspension of the free program will remain in effect until such time as the state determines how it wishes to proceed with its free e-waste program state-wide. It is possible, even likely, that the Weathersfield Transfer Station will be permanently removed from the list of sites licensed to accept electronic waste free of charge.

We urge residents to leave their electronic waste at home while we await action by the state. Should you wish to dispose of your electronic waste at this time, we will accept it as a pay item at the following rates:

Televisions & Monitors
