PRIVATE SHUTTLES

Watertown TMA Shuttle Services

The Watertown TMA assists members in forming and managing private shuttles from areas not currently covered by public transportation. These services can be independent and private for a singular TMA member or can be shared among multiple members to achieve economies of scale. 

Whether it’s a first/last mile connection to a transit hub or a local circulator, the WTMA team can work with you to establish a new service and make it successful. From surveying and data analysis to route design and scheduling, the WTMA is available to work with our members to develop a custom shuttle solution.

If you are an employer, a property owner, or a residential location in the Watertown area and you are interested in a shuttle program, contact us for more information on how to get started.
