MVRT bicycle riders can also connect to La Route verte, a 3,400 kilometer bicycle network projected to vein its way throughout Quebec Canada by 2005. Through the efforts of Velo Quebec, with the help of the Quebec government, La Route verte uses separated paths, paved shoulders, and quiet country roads to link the province's regions and municipalities.
MVRT cyclists can connect with La Route verte at the Canadian custom's station on VT 139 in Richford.
