    SRTA is seeking comments on proposed service changes in Fall River, fare free service, and Sunday service.

    Proposed Service Changes

    Route 104 – Robeson St

    The change proposed is minor and intended to straighten the alignment of the Route 104 by eliminating service on President Ave, Ray St, and Stanley St. with the route alignment instead remaining on Robeson St. This change is paired with a service change proposal for Route 108 – BCC that will realign the route from New Boston Road to President Ave, maintaining service to the Truesdale Clinic. Cardinal Mederios Towers will be accessible via a short (approximately 300 ft) walk to Robeson St.

    Route 108 – BCC

    The proposed change for Route 108 realigns service from New Boston Road to President Ave between Elsbree St and Hanover St. The proposed change is paired with the proposal for Route 104 – Robeson St to maintain service to the Truesdale Clinic.

    Route 105 – Stafford Rd

    There are two proposed changes to Route 105: eliminate service to Tiverton Casino and relocate service from the interior of the Seabra Market plaza to Stafford Road. The Tiverton Casino service was extended when the casino opened in 2018. Service was limited to two trips intended to coincide with shift change times for casino workers. The stop generates very little ridership, and adds two minutes to the inbound travel time. The service is proposed for elimination.

    The second proposal is to relocate service from the interior and storefront stop at the Seabra Market on Stafford Rd to a roadside stop on Stafford Rd. The plaza is served in both directions and increases travel times for the route. The distance from the road to the storefront is less than three-hundred feet and is accessible via sidewalks.
