Public Transit Advocacy

RDM Transit Needs Update, May 10

Submitted by JoelWool on Tue, 05/10/2011 - 8:47am

The second round of public meetings for the Roxbury/Dorchester/Mattapan Transit Needs Study is taking place now. On Tuesday, May 10, a meeting will be conducted from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mattapan Branch Library, 1350 Blue Hill Avenue. Over the next year, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will work with the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan neighborhoods to develop short and long-term strategies to improve the public transit system. The objective is to make the system more responsive to the needs of riders. Please take the transit study survey online at http://www.mass.gov/massdot/rdm.
