There have been reports of a text scammer requesting EZDrive Massachusetts customers pay a fee for unpaid tolls. This may easily be confused with MassDOT’s tolling program. If you receive a similar message-based scam, report it to https://t.co/Es7bJ0dizW.

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
It’s true. #summertime & ice cream bring such great memories & joy for older adults. As a participant said today, it’s not about the sweet treat, but rather the socializing with others. ❤️🍦
