GATRA Service in Norton to Expand

Administrator at GATRA Francis Gay told Norton selectmen of current plans to expand service in the town of Norton.

He said GATRA has been working with the town of Mansfield and Wheaton to expand service along Route 140 between the two areas.

“We’re looking to expand that service to Mansfield Crossing,” he said. “We’re working with the town and the college. There’s a big need for student who want to get over there and a local need for student that live in Norton that might want to work at the shopping center.”

He told the board he’d present the schedule when it’s finalized, and is looking to implement it late in the summer to be ready for the fall season and the return of the student body.

Gay added the buses would be able to stop anywhere along the route to pick up Norton residents.
