Overnight parking at MBTA commuter rail stations in Franklin, MA
Have you ever wanted to visit friends in Boston over a weekend or holiday and didn’t want to park overnight in the city? Because the parking lot at the MBTA’s Forge Park commuter rail station in Franklin, MA routinely has many empty spaces, you’d think overnight parking would be allowed there.
Empty spaces mean overnight parking OK?

Nothing at the lot says you can’t

MBTA website says no overnight parking at Franklin MBTA lots
Unfortunately, as stated on the MBTA website there’s no overnight parking allowed at Franklin’s Forge Park train station or at Franklin’s Downtown Station.
The MBTA allows over-night parking in only some of its facilities including: Braintree, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, and Route 128 (Westwood)
So if you live in the Franklin, Massachusetts area, you might want to do your overnight parking in the Westwood, Braintree, or Quincy MBTA stations.
