Governor has made transportation funding a key part of his agenda.
Gov. Deval Patrick visited two of Medford's Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) facilities Wednesday in an effort to highlight his push for transportation funding. Patrick visited the MBTA Fellsway bus garage at 465 Salem St. and then the Wellington Station maintenance garage, where numerous Orange Line trains were being serviced. "There's a tremendous amount of consensus, in and out of the Statehouse...that it's time for re-investment in our transportation infrastructure," Patrick told reporters at Wellington.

Big changes could be coming to the MBTA. Patch breaks down the impact to you, the rider and wants to hear what Medford has to say about potential changes.
The MBTA recently released this document detailing a plan for potential fare increases and service reductions for the entire MBTA transit system.

The 355 Express Bus would be eliminated for weekday services as well as completely removing the 95 and 96 buses from service. The 101 and 94 would be sparred completely from a reform.
