Seniors and others who are dependent on public transportation in western Massachusetts are concerned about potential new service cuts from the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority.
The preliminary budget for the state of Massachusetts for fiscal year 2019 includes less money for the commonwealth's regional transit operations including the PVTA.
An open forum was held in Springfield's Stavros Center for Independent Living on Tuesday to talk about how that would impact riders.
The PVTA issued a recent round of service adjustments and predicts a three-million-dollar deficit for the upcoming fiscal year.
