By sunrise most mornings, Barnstable’s Route 132 park-and-ride lot is already overflowing with commuters and travelers headed for Boston, Logan Airport, and other destinations.

The Route 132 park-and-ride and the spaces available at the Hyannis Transportation Center are the only park-and-ride facilities offering direct service to Boston from the mid-Cape area.

MassDOT has dedicated funding this year to complete a major redesign of the facility. The final design expands the lot to the north and west, adding 271 new parking spaces for a total of 639 total parking spaces, nearly double the current capacity.
