On Monday morning, outgoing Governor Charlie Baker and other state and local officials officially cut the ribbon on the new Freetown commuter rail station.

New Bedford voters have spoken: city residents have agreed by a large majority to join the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, clearing the way for SouthCoast Rail to start service to Boston as planned in 2023.

Young people in the city of Brockton and communities in the greater Brockton area served by Brockton Area Transit will be paying less for public transportation.

State transportation officials told New Bedford residents at a Tuesday community meeting that the long-promised South Coast Rail project is nearing the halfway point, and could start carrying passengers by the end of 2023.

New Bedford Public Schools are among a handful of school districts in the state named as victims of snake oil hand sanitizer sales during the first months of the pandemic.

The presentation is set for Feb. 25 on Zoom.
