        Originally set to begin this year, the launch of a bicycle sharing program in western Massachusetts has been pushed back to 2018. 

       Just last week, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation issued a contract for $1.3 million in federal funds to pay for the bikes and stations for ValleyBike Share. 

       WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Wayne Feiden, the city of Northampton’s Director of Planning and Sustainability.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
