GREENFIELD The governor is looking to consolidate a program of the local transit authority that provides low-income people and those with disabilities with a ride to medical appointments that would mean oversight by an agency about 100 miles away. But the area’s legislators are trying to put a moratorium on any such decision and signing of contracts for the next two years.
Gov. Charlie Baker wants to sign a contract that would consolidate the Human Service Transportation system from six regions run by six regional transit authorities, including the Franklin Regional Transit Authority (FRTA), to three regions that would be managed by two transit authorities. The one that would manage Franklin County would be located in the Fitchburg/Leominster area.
