9 February, 2013
From the MEMA website:
Travel ban issued on Friday 2/8 remains in effect until further notice. All motorists MUST be off the roads except for public safety and public works workers, government officials conducting official business, utility workers, healthcare workers who must travel to provide essential, news media. Travel also is allowed if necessary to maintain and deliver critical private sector services such as energy, fuel supplies and delivery, financial systems and the delivery of critical commodities, or to support business operations that provide critical services to the public, including gasoline stations, food stores and hardware stores. Motorists must use their best judgment in determining if travel is permitted under an exception to the ban. Law enforcement is being asked to interpret the exceptions broadly; the objective is to limit traffic as much as possible while allowing critical public and private sector services and functions to use the roads as necessary. Do not call 9-1-1 about the travel ban, phone lines are needed for emergency calls.
From the MBTA website
Due to the impacts of a severe winter storm, MBTA service will remain suspended on all modes Saturday, February 9, 2013.
With severe winds and heavy snow, the safety of customers and employees is the MBTA's top priority.
The continued suspension of service will also allow MBTA and MBCR personnel to concentrate all of their efforts on getting the transit system, from subway to bus to commuter rail, up and running as soon as possible.
The MBTA apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. We ask for the public's patience and understanding as we combat the effects of this storm.
For updates on the restoration of service, check MBTA.com and media broadcasts regularly throughout the storm. To receive T-Alerts on your phone, please click here to sign up.
