Water Transit Month

An annual celebration of one of Boston's greatest resources: water transit.

#WTMBoston

Thank you for another great Water Transit Month! We can’t wait to celebrate again with you next year.

Look for your #WTMBoston photo submissions in our gallery.

July is Water Transit Month.

Every year, Seaport TMA, A Better City TMA, and Lower Mystic TMA team up for a month-long celebration of water transportation in the Greater Boston Area. Throughout the month of July, we will be hosting a weekly photo contest to highlight all the great ways people are traveling on the water, hosting a dockside fair, and more.

Whether you are a regular ferry rider, an occasional water taxi user, or completely new to water transit, we want you to get outside and share our excitement for one of Boston’s most unique forms of transportation.

If you have questions, email us at WTMBoston@SeaportTMA.org.

Photo Contests

Capture some of your favorite images of water transportation and post them to your social media with the hashtag #WTMBoston to enter the contest. If your profile is private, you can email your submissions to WTMBoston@SeaportTMA.org. We will be giving away exciting water-themed prizes to each winner. The names of contest winners will be selected at the end of each entry period. The grand prize winner will be selected on August 3.

To learn more about the specifics of the photo contest and events, follow us on social media (@abctma @lowermystictma @seaporttma) or this webpage.
