On May 11, the Burlington Mall hosted its popular Touch a Truck event at The Park, drawing families for a day of hands-on fun. The event featured a wide range of vehicles, from fire trucks and construction loaders to farm equipment, big rigs, RVs, and sleek cars.

TransAction’s Middlesex3TMA shuttle was present at the event, offering attendees a closer look at the Transportation Management Association (TMA) dedicated to improving transportation infrastructure within the M3 Corridor region. This shuttle service connects the MBTA at Alewife Station to various stops within the M3 Corridor, providing a vital link for commuters.

The Middlesex3TMA shuttle was a hit with visitors, who were keen to learn about their role in improving local transit. Representatives from TransAction were present to offer insights and answer questions, with M3TMA shuttle driver Tadd also on-site, adding a personal touch to the informative experience.

A special sensory-friendly hour from 9 am to 10 am ensured that children with sensory sensitivities could enjoy the event in a quieter, less crowded setting. This accommodation allowed everyone to participate comfortably.

The Touch a Truck event was not just about fun; it also provided a unique educational opportunity. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the chance to explore and learn about the different vehicles, making it a memorable day for all. 

Overall, the event was a success, bringing the community together and offering a unique, interactive experience. We look forward to seeing what next year’s Touch a Truck will bring!
