Trolley Ribbon Cutting 5 21 24

The City of Fall River and Viva Fall River held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 21, 2024, to unveil the new City Trolley. This initiative, funded by a travel and tourism grant from the state of Massachusetts, aims to provide residents and visitors with a new way to explore Fall River's unique charm and history.

The trolley will operate a 12-stop visitor loop on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a flat rate of $5 for adults and free rides for children under 12. Specialized tours, including a "Wings on the Wapa bird watching experience" at the bio reserve funded by a Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation grant, are also being developed. Mayor Paul Coogan, State Representative Carol Fiola, Director of City Operations Al Aliva, and Director of Grants Jasmine Pereira were recognized for their integral roles in bringing the project to fruition. The city also announced upcoming tourism initiatives, including a new tourism website and a water taxi service.
