Freetown joins 14 other Massachusetts towns defying the MBTA Communities Act, resisting state housing mandates aimed at boosting affordable development.
MBTA is offering free rides on all subways, buses, commuter rail, and ferries after 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays for five weekends this September and October.
Three New Bedford City Councilors have put forth a motion to hold the MBTA and MassDOT responsible for trash and debris along the commuter rail tracks.
