*Wellesley Catch Connect Changes - July 1, 2026*

Effective July 1, 2026, MWRTA will implement the following changes to Catch Connect Wellesley, designed to improve reliability and streamline service to the service region:

- Will no longer provide service into Needham.  Recent accessibility improvements at the Wellesley CR Station now provides riders with direct ADA accessible station access. 

- Will no longer provide service to the Waban Green Line Station, but will continue to service the Woodland Station.  Stop consolidation will improve overall travel efficiency for those connecting to the Green Line.

- Babson Campus will now be serviced by two designated stop locations:

          1. Knight Parking Lot by Malloy Hall - connection to MWRTA Route 1

          2. Post Office - 231 Forest St.

Centralizing the stop locations will allow service to be faster, more efficient, and more reliable. 

Please call (508) 283 - 5083 or email info@mwrta.com with any questions regarding the upcoming changes.

*NEW ROUTE* Marlborough Commuter Shuttle
