An Assessment of Current Transportation Services, Community Needs and Future Options for Grafton and Northbridge
WRTA worked with the Towns of Grafton and Northbridge to assess transportation services and needs in both communities. This study used field data collection on WRTA Routes A and B, and senior transportation in both communities. WRTA and its local partners sought input from all community members, including riders and drivers.
Throughout June 2026, the WRTA conducted two public meetings in each Grafton, and Northbridge, and one virtual meeting to present findings from the study and to discuss the two proposed alternative service approaches.
Feedback helped us better understand the needs of riders in Grafton and Northbridge. A digital comment box was used to collect feedback from community members. Comments were collected through Friday, July 10th, 2026 by 4:30 PM.
The final report has been released and is available to view below.
WRTA is committed to going The Extra Mile for our riders through an initiative designed to help them better connect with the places they need to go. Projects completed as part of The Extra Mile will help to improve bus service and bus stops, and will help WRTA provide service that is more responsive to passengers’ needs.
