The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) continues to make service changes due to low ridership caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

These plans are part of the MBTA "Forging Ahead" initiative. 

Changes to the MBTA bus and subway networks will begin in March when the frequency of bus and subway lines will decrease, and bus routes may be eliminated, shortened, or combined. On April 5, new schedules go into effect for the MBTA Commuter Rail which serves Wellesley.

Residents have two more opportunities to give feedback on these plans.

• Tuesday, February 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. attend a virtual meeting on the environmental impacts of the service changes
• Wednesday, February 24 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. attend a virtual meeting to give overall feedback on the "Forging Ahead" plans

Interested residents who are unable to make the virtual meetings can also submit questions during the "Forging Ahead" weekly coffee chats. 

More information on "Forging Ahead" is available on the MBTA website.
