The Greater Portland Metro is expanding into Scarborough. The new route will provide service centered along the Route 1 corridor seven days a week, reducing traffic congestion and expanding transportation options in southern Maine, officials said. As Scarborough’s population continues to grow, residents have expressed concerns about an influx of traffic and congestion. The town of Scarborough recently completed a town-wide transportation study. Town Manager Tom Hall said, “Expanded public transportation is a critical component of our vision for Scarborough’s traffic and transportation goals.”
