**MBTA Braces for Heatwave, Expects Potential Service Disruptions**
**Boston, MA -** With extreme heat forecast for today and tomorrow, the MBTA is advising riders to prepare for potential service disruptions due to heat-related stress on the tracks. The transit agency may need to implement reduced speeds in certain areas to ensure safety, potentially leading to slightly longer travel times.
“The safety of our riders is our top priority,” said an MBTA spokesperson. “We are taking proactive measures to mitigate the impact of the heat on our infrastructure and operations.”
The MBTA will deploy crews throughout the system to provide assistance to passengers. Riders are encouraged to consult the T’s Extreme Heat Guide for tips on staying cool during their commute.
The agency is also urging passengers to report any air conditioning issues on buses or trains immediately. Reports can be made to the operator, a station official, by calling 617-222-3200, or by messaging the MBTA on X @MBTA, including the bus or train number.
For real-time updates and more information, riders are advised to visit mbta.com or follow the MBTA on social media: X @MBTA, Facebook /TheMBTA, Instagram @theMBTA, Threads @thembta, and TikTok @thembta.
