Highlights from the 2025 WMTAN Forum
On April 11th, 2025, advocates gathered in Springfield to discuss innovative transportation-related work being done in the four counties of Western Massachusetts.
Identifying Gaps in the Network
With three separate Regional Transit Authorities and seven micro-transit zones, it is hard to get a comprehensive look at where services in the region exist – and where they are lacking. In collaboration with the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, the Ride WMA GIS map was created to visualize those gaps.
