• Valley Interfaith Action calls for countywide door-to-door transit system in Rockingham Co. (whsv.com) — Bridgewater is part of a key corridor in a new Rockingham County transit planning effort that’s drawing pushback from Valley Interfaith Action. The group wants a countywide, door-to-door system instead of a microtransit pilot limited to the Bridgewater–Dayton–Mount Crawford area, arguing their proposal would better serve rural residents and be more financially responsible.
