We’re boosting the signal on this one kind of late, but better late than never. If you’re able, please do attend and show your support for our beleaguered transit agency and their attempts to move forward with electrification of their bus fleet by, among other things, replacing the Arborway bus garage with a fully modern facility while making significant land available for development of sorely needed new housing for our city. Thanks!<\/p>\n
The MBTA is pleased to announce a public meeting<\/a> to discuss replacement of the Arborway Bus Maintenance Facility.\u00a0 The in-person meeting is scheduled for:<\/em><\/p>\n
Thursday, June 22, 2023<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
6 PM \u2013 8 PM<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
The English High School \u2013 Auditorium<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
144 McBride Street<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
Boston<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
At this meeting, MBTA project staff will provide an overview of the 15% design plans for the new bus maintenance facility and electrification project<\/a>. The MBTA is designing the facility to support a 100% battery electric bus (BEB) fleet. BEBs will reduce emissions and improve the air quality around the facility and routes served. The new facility will be located next to the existing facility, on the site of 500 Arborway, and will open up 6.5 acres for housing and other development. The new facility will expand the fleet size to serve additional routes in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. This will provide capacity for 60-foot buses that carry greater numbers of riders on busy routes.<\/em><\/p>\n
The MBTA encourages public participation and invites all to join this meeting. The MBTA will facilitate a Q&A period to respond to inquiries and gather public feedback about this project.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
