TransitMatters is an advocacy group dedicated to improving transit in and around Boston by offering new perspectives, uniting transit advocates, educating riders and promoting a level of critical analysis normally absent from other media. We advocate for plans and policies that promote convenient and effective transportation for everyone. TransitMatters' envisions a set of six high-impact solutions to improve the transit experience for MBTA riders; solutions with positive impacts that far outweigh the cost of implementation. We must vastly improve our public transport network to work for all citizens of the Commonwealth, improving equity, mobility, air quality, and economic opportunity. Transit Matters Initiatives: - Night Bus - Regional Rail - NextGen Bus - Fair Fares - Mobility Hubs - Red-Blue Connector
