Southwest Boston Transit Action Plan
If you ride the bus along Hyde Park Ave., we want to hear from you! Take our transit rider survey here!
We are planning transit, accessibility, and safety improvements for all road users in Boston's Southwest neighborhoods
The City of Boston Transportation Department is conducting a transit-focused analysis and action plan for Hyde Park, West Roxbury, and Roslindale to improve transportation options in Southwest Boston. These areas often have transit goals that align, especially when it comes to bus service. Most of the bus routes in these neighborhoods look to quickly and efficiently ferry riders to the rapid transit network or commuter rail. The City wants to ensure that getting to connections or other key neighborhood locations is as quick and seamless as possible.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation IMPACT Crash data, there were 116 reported crashes along Hyde Park Ave since 2016. 53 of those crashes resulted in injury, and 1 resulted in a fatality.

Everyone should be able to use the streets to get around.
Our city becomes more accessible when we embrace high quality transit, and safer, stress free walking and biking. We aim to provide easier access between residents and the places they wish to go.
