Why it matters
The cancellations affect services that provide a functional connection to Boston, impacting both commuter flow and local commerce in the connected towns. The operational bodies, including the MBTA and the US Coast Guard, rely on forecasts from the National Weather Service to inform these operational decisions.
Various ferry services are currently running to Boston, including lines from Winthrop, Lynn, and Charlestown, while East Boston remains a neighborhood of Boston.
