Water Transit Month 2024
Every year, A Better City TMA partners with Seaport TMA and Lower Mystic TMA for a month-long celebration of water transportation in the Greater Boston Area. Throughout the month of July, we will be hosting a weekly photo contest to highlight all the great ways people are traveling on the water, hosting a dockside fair, and more.
Whether you are a regular ferry rider, an occasional water taxi user, or completely new to water transit, we want you to get outside and share our excitement for one of Boston’s most unique forms of transportation.
For questions specifically related to Water Transit Month, please send an email to WTMBoston@SeaportTMA.org.
