“There may be sort of a lack of information about what congestion pricing is . . . and what the benefits would be in terms of revenue. It could be a dedicated source for our . . . public transit system.”

Our ED Caitlin Allen-Connelly weighs in on possible congestion pricing ⏬

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

An overwhelming majority of Massachusetts residents said they would not want to pay extra to drive to downtown Boston if that meant less traffic, according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll. https://t.co/ENCtVwEkrE

“[The extended program] provides further incentive for the City of Boston to continue to advance transit priority projects to keep buses moving, ensuring transit is both affordable and dependable."

Our ED Caitlin Allen-Connolly discusses the fare-free bus expansion program ⏬

Routes 23, 28, and 29 will remain fare-free through December.

Thank you so much to those who were able to join TransitMatters at Pride & Transit to celebrate Boston’s queer community and advocate for a public transit system that serves everyone w/dignity. A shoutout to all speakers.

A couple weeks ago, TransitMatters and CultureHouse combined our problem-solving forces to solve a key transportation issue: creating a seamless transit connection from the Blue Line to Boston Logan Airport and improving bus network circulation there. Great minds work together!

TransitMatters calls on @MayorWu and @BOSCityCouncil to #PressPlay on Boston’s paused street projects. Cole Lewis, our Bus & Mobility Hubs program manager, testified at the public hearing last Wed.

Cole’s testimony: 1.58:00–2.00:06

[TransitMatters @transitmatters]

Every ride helps, but we need transit that's frequent, fast, reliable, affordable & accessible. This #EarthDay, we’re fighting for electrified Regional Rail, Bus priority & sustainable funding. Let’s end managed decline and fund the system our climate needs! 🚍⚡️🚆 #RegionalRail

[TransitMatters @transitmatters]

We deserve streets that work for us—not just for traffic.

Tell Mayor Wu and the City Council to resume progress on the bus lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian safety improvements that it committed to making.
