GATRA Service to Expand

Administrator at GATRA Francis Gay told Norton board of selectmen of current plans to expand service in Mansfield and Norton.

According to Gay, GATRA has been working with the town of Mansfield and Wheaton College to expand service along Route 140 between the two areas.

“We’re looking to expand that service to Mansfield Crossing,” Gay said. “We’re working with the town and the college. There’s a big need for student who want to get over there and a local need for student that live in Norton that might want to work at the shopping center.”

He told the board that the schedule would be presented when it’s finalized, and is looking to implement it late in the summer to be ready for the fall season and the return of the student body.

Gay added the buses would be able to stop anywhere along the route to pick up residents.
