Vermont operates on Eastern Standard Time (EST) during winter months, which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). During daylight saving time, observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, Vermont switches to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4.
All of Vermont follows the same time zone. Major cities including Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Barre, and Montpelier all observe Eastern Time. This makes scheduling across Vermont straightforward, as there's no time difference within the state.
Vermont is in the Eastern Time Zone and shares timing with major Northeast business centers. When it's 9 AM in Burlington, it's the same time in Boston and New York, making it ideal for regional business coordination.
