Greater Portland Metro to Launch New Service in Scarborough
Greater Portland Metro receives funding to launch new service in Scarborough
Big advances in public transit through Scarborough: Greater Portland Metro announced its partnership with the Town of Scarborough and Maine Turnpike Authority to provide a new fixed-route transit service between Scarborough and Portland along Route One.
“Widely available public transportation is essential as we work to manage growth responsibly in Scarborough as it helps ease traffic, serves our community, and supports our sustainability goals,” said Scarborough Town Manager Thomas Hall. “We have an eye toward improving traffic flow and safety, and recently completed a Town-wide Transportation Study to inform our priorities. Expanded public transportation is a critical component of our vision for Scarborough’s traffic and transportation goals.”
The new service is expected to be available in 2026, but specific details are still in development.
