Transportation is difficult for me - Are there any resources that you can tell me about?

There are several resources that might be helpful to you in finding transportations options when thinking about work. If you have a computer, try out point to point trip planning options by going to these websites:

  • MBTA Trip Planner - An online tool by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) that helps you chart routes on MBTA public transit.
  • Google Transit - Plan your route to work with Google Transit in four Massachusetts regions: Pioneer Valley, Cape Cod, Metro West, and Lexington. Click on your community’s link to map your destination using public transportation. More communities in the state may be added in the future.

You can also get transportation information by contacting your Regional Transit Authority (RTAs) who has information on local transportation services in your area.
