Water Transit Month
An annual celebration of one of Boston's greatest resources: water transit.
July is Water Transit Month.
Every year, Seaport TMA, A Better City TMA, and Lower Mystic TMA team up 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.
If you have questions, email us at WTMBoston@SeaportTMA.org.
More information coming soon!
