Public input for public transit
The Montachusett Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) and the Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) are working to create an Eastern Communities Transit Development Program in Ayer, Devens, Harvard, Lancaster, Littleton, and Shirley. Public input is sought in the form of a survey, which can be found at surveymonkey.com/r/GQXF3DV. The public’s input is critical toward identifying bus stop locations, target populations, and potential barriers within this region.
