Charlie Breitrose Buses like this one on the 71 bus will get priority heading toward Harvard Square on Mt. Auburn Street in the new Cambridge-Watertown Bus Priority Pilot program.
The following announcement was provided by MassDOT:
The MBTA and MassDOT will host a virtual public meeting on Zoom on Wednesday, October 27, at 6 p.m. to discuss the Bus Network Redesign Project. An initiative of the Better Bus Project, the MBTA and MassDOT’s Bus Network Redesign Project is taking a look at the bus system as a whole in order to recommend a new network that better serves the needs of the region.
The project’s second public meeting will present the approach and principles used by MassDOT and the MBTA to propose a transformed bus network through the Bus Network Redesign process. These design principles will shape the draft network map that the MBTA will share and discuss extensively with the public later this winter.
The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Members of the public can register for the meeting online. The meeting will be recorded and posted online for those who cannot attend.
More about Bus Network Redesign:
The Bus Network Redesign Project completely re-imagines the MBTA’s bus network to reflect these changes and to create a better experience for current and future bus riders. This redesign reflects rider feedback collected during one of the early phases of the Better Bus Project. It builds on work already done and guides recommendations for changes that address route design, frequency of service, hours of service, and coverage area.
This plan prioritizes riders in transit-critical communities like Roxbury, Everett, Chelsea, Mattapan, and Lynn. It is a once-in-a-generation attempt to make bold, foundational improvements to the bus network for the people who depend on it most.
