Commuter rail riders in Lincoln and elsewhere and others will have until February 12 to offer feedback on the MBTA/MassDOT proposals for revised train schedules.
The drafts were created in response to rider outcry in November over the MBTA’s planned elimination of rush-hour stops in Lincoln and other changes in the commuter rail schedule.

The proposed Fitchburg line schedule as well as a comparison of the current and proposed schedules for all commuter rail lines can be found online, along with the survey and public meeting schedule.
Final commuter rail schedules will be released in April and go into effect on May 23.
Riders can convey their opinions in several ways:
- Via the online survey, which offers a fast and easy way to weigh in on the proposed schedule. Written surveys will also be available at Back Bay Station, North Station, and South Station through February 12.
- By attending one of eight public meetings in Lynn (January 25), Malden (January 27), Concord (January 28), Worcester (February 1), Mansfield (February 3), Natick (February 3), Norwood (February 8), and Woburn (February 8).
