Save the MBTA Commuter Boat

Call Directions Website

Save the MBTA Commuter Boat On January 3rd, the MBTA unveiled its proposal to close a $161 million hole in its budget by hiking fares and making cuts in service.

The MBTA’s proposal would include shutting down commuter rail service on weekends and hiking commuter rail fares by upwards of 43%. The proposal would also completely eliminate the $3.9M subsidy for the MBTA commuter boat. The elimination of the MBTA ferry would drastically effect the commutes of many of my constituents, forcing them to completely reconfigure their daily schedules in order to find a different way to commute to Boston. In contrast to many other services offered by the MBTA, the commuter boat always runs on time and is a very pleasant and environmentally sound commuting experience. Any proposed changes to the MBTA’s rate and service structure will not go into effect until July 1, 2012, and there will be several public hearings before that time where residents can weigh in on the proposals. I plan to advocate very strongly on behalf of the commuter boat throughout the process. Please join this page for regular updates on the proposals and to contribute your own thoughts and opinions.
