Monthly Meetings
Every month, we hold a meeting online via Zoom that is open to members and guests alike. These are usually held on the first weekend of the month, unless it is a holiday weekend. Each meeting begins with a brief business portion, which includes MBTA current events, followed by an entertainment presentation on a transit-related topic.

BSRA Zoom Meeting Guidelines & Tips
We use the Zoom platform to conduct our virtual monthly meetings. At 7:30PM on the day of the meeting, you can join by clicking the link posted on this page, or by dialing in using your phone to the number listed on this page. Please note a few basic rules:
- All attendees will enter a “waiting room” before being admitted into the meeting by the host
- All attendees will be muted on entry, and are asked to keep themselves muted for the duration of the meeting
- Attendees are asked to use the chat feature in Zoom to raise any questions, rather than speaking, to allow the meeting to run efficiently and minimize cross-talk
- Anyone wishing to raise any items of New or Old Business, or any Current Events items, should also post them using the Chat feature when prompted during the meeting
Note: You do not need to install the Zoom software to join the meeting, though it does provide a better experience. Instead, you can click “join in your browser” after clicking the meeting link, or you can dial in by phone. Note: dialing in by phone will only provide meeting audio, and does not allow for viewing slides, voting in polls, or participating in the meeting chat.
