Pokey/Schleppie Awards II Pre-Launch Party
You're invited to the soft launch of TransitMatters’ second annual Pokey/Schleppie Awards report! Join us for a relaxed evening at Lamplighter’s Broadway location on September 24, 2025, from 6–8:00pm. This is an opportunity to:
Get a preview of which routes made the ten slowest (pokey) and most bunched (schleppie)
Learn about the report's key findings and recommendations
Share your story about how slow and unreliable buses impact your daily commute
Ethan Lapointe, Senior Transportation Planner at the Boston Region MPO, will also discuss recent funding for bus priority projects and the MPO’s goals for supporting more reliable transit in the region!
TransitMatters will provide light fare, and Lamplighter taps will be open.
Photos will be taken during the event and shared on social media. By attending, you consent to be photographed.
