Foxboro Weekday Service Pilot
On October 21, 2019, the MBTA is launching a year-long pilot to test interest in weekday Commuter Rail service to Foxboro.
Foxboro Station is ideal for area residents who:
- Live closer to Foxboro Station than their current station
- Park at a nearby station that has limited spaces
It's just a short drive from:
- Walpole Station, Zone 4 (4 miles, about 9 minutes)
- Norfolk Station, Zone 5 (5 miles, about 10 minutes)
- Mansfield Station, Zone 6 (7 miles, about 15 minutes)
- Franklin Station, Zone 6 (10 miles, about 10 minutes)
It’s also great for reverse commuters who drive down from Boston, or for those interested in working in Foxboro. Weekday service offers:
- An alternative option to driving
- Access to the area via public transportation for non-drivers
- A reverse commute fare that's more than half off a regular fare
Parking
Five hundred parking spaces will be available for commuters at Foxboro Station. Daily parking will cost $4.

During the pilot, we’ll also be testing a reverse commute fare at the same price as an interzone 4 fare. The reverse commute fare is designed for those who travel from Zone 1A stations on the Franklin and Fairmount lines to Foxboro in the morning, and return to Boston in the evening.
You can purchase one-way reverse commute tickets on board, at ticket windows, and on mTicket.
Monthly reverse commute passes are available at ticket windows and on mTicket. Passes bought at ticket windows include Local Bus transfers.
