Public Transportation
Worcester Regional Transit Authority
Taking public transportation instead of driving a passenger vehicle can help reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMTs) and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. The Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) operates public transportation routes in the Worcester region, offering bus and shuttle services to local residents for free or at a relatively low cost. Increasing public transportation ridership is an important part of the Green Worcester Plan.
Public Transportation
Mass Bay Transit Authority
The Mass Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) operates state-run trains, buses, shuttles, and ferries out of Boston. The commuter rail, which connects Boston to surrounding cities and towns, runs the Framingham/Worcester Line. Additionally, a number of MBTA buses run back and forth from Worcester to Boston.
