10/8: Water Transportation Study Virtual Public Meeting at 6:30pm. 

Boston Harbor and its connecting waterways offer a unique opportunity to provide transportation for people living, working, and visiting. 

Ferry service is an important resource that supports growing neighborhoods. It can provide convenient transit in communities with limited public transportation options and increase the resilience of the larger transportation network, especially when there are disruptions to subway or Commuter Rail service.

This MassDOT–led Water Transportation Study is the first step in this effort. View Water Transportation Study project page.

10/9: Deployables Day is being held jointly with Ready Boston Field Day#2 from 11am to 3pm.
