It is responsible for public transit services in thirty-seven (37) communities within the Central Massachusetts region, and is funded with Federal, State and local subsidies, as well as farebox revenue. The WRTA was created pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 161B. The WRTA is required to comply with the mandates of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as are the entities with which it contracts for transit.
