Traffic advisory for weekend of May 5 and 6, 2018

The annual Walk for Hunger and 5K Run, as well as Wake Up the Earth Day and Polish Constitution Day activities, will be held in Boston on Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6, 2018.  People coming into Boston to enjoy these festivities are urged not to drive their personal vehicles.  Information on Blue Bikes, the regional bike share system, may be found at www.theHubway.com and information on the MBTA may be found at www.MBTA.com.  For a faster return trip, the MBTA advises riders to purchase a round-trip rather than a one-way ticket.  Walking is also a great way to move around the City of Boston.
