We're dedicated to providing safe and accessible bus service for riders across our system, which is why we plan to convert the Route 716 from a flag-stop route to a typical bus route with fixed stops. For our Route 716 Bus Stop Safety and Accessibility Project, we plan to install 20 pairs of fixed bus stops with visible waiting areas to make bus service simpler and easier to use. The project will enhance the rider experience while also improving bus tracking, reliability, and timeliness.

We're speeding things up across more of the Orange Line. 55 MPH is also now the top speed between North Station and Assembly, expanding on last year's speed increases to Oak Grove. With track updates and recent infrastructure work, we've been able to deliver 76% more service every weekday compared to winter 2023. We'll keep continuously improving to provide faster travel and save our riders time.

From 1908-1917, public transit continued to expand both underground with subway tunnels and above with elevated railways, forming the foundation of today's rapid transit lines. Watch Part 2 of our History of the T series as we count down to our 130th anniversary celebration in 2027.

We're modernizing the MBTA Commuter Rail's Newtonville station to be fully accessible to all riders. This fall, we plan to begin early action work including site prep, utility relocation, and retaining wall installation. This will lay the foundation for the future fully-accessible station with two high-level side platforms, elevator and stair connections from the Washington St sidewalk, and elevator and stair connections between the station platforms.

“I am pleased to see so many enroll on Day 1 in our new Car-Free Seniors Program, giving people who can no longer drive or choose not to drive the ability to still travel using mass transportation. This successful launch underscores how important access to safe, reliable, and affordable travel opportunities are to the public,” said Interim Secretary of Transportation and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng. “Under the Healey-Driscoll Administration, we continue to prioritize upgrades and improvements in every area of our system, including new fare programs that keep people moving. Our senior riders are important to us, and I thank our new enrollees for trusting the MBTA as their preferred mode of travel for everywhere they need and want to go.”

Over 500 users successfully enrolled on the first day of our Car-Free Seniors pilot program. Learn more about the successful launch at https://www.mbta.com/news/2026-10-14/over-500-users-successfully-enrolled-first-day-mbta-car-free-seniors-pilot-program
