Sadly it’s not just NYC it’s most of US. 1st time #wmata has nothing in design or construction in agency history despite projected population growth & regional need. It is imperative we start thinking big again in 🇺🇸 and then reduce time & cost to build to deliver more service.

Frequent, electrified service on the Commuter Rail’s Fairmount Line will address public health inequities in an environmental justice community & serve as a critical pilot project. @ABetterCity applauds the @MBTA Board of Directors vote to advance Regional Rail & decarbonization

Battery-electric trains are coming to @MBTA_CR Fairmount Line. Today, Board of Directors approved a $54 million plan to acquire BEMU trains for more frequent service, less energy consumption & lower emissions for surrounding communities. ow.ly/LVTg50SKqf3 #BuildingABetterT

Exciting news that's a long time coming! Kudos to the Fairmount Indigo Transit Coalition, our Regional Rail team at TM for keeping up the faith. The @MBTA & @KeolisBoston are making the first steps towards Regional Rail.

What would the Boston area congestion zone look like? 👀🗺️
MTA@MTA
It's a historic day: Today, the MTA Board voted to approve the toll rates for the nation's first congestion pricing program. This program will reduce traffic in Manhattan's central business district, reduce pollution, and provide critical funding for transit improvements.

@MBTA Let's get these videos in the stations to spread the work on the successes!

Last week, we removed 7 speed restrictions from the Orange Line to deliver safer, faster service for our riders. Even during this short diversion, we maximized our efforts to complete rail repairs, station maintenance, security updates, & necessary inspections.

@jarjoh @BostonBTD There are no words other than tragic and unacceptable. Agree: no opting out for public safety.
English
I think we shouldn't need to do lengthy community process around enforcing the current laws around crosswalks with daylighting and implementing other life-saving infrastructure. There shouldn't be an opt-out for public safety. @BostonBTD has already set a precedent w/ Centre St.

Exciting first step @MBTA!

The MBTA appears to be committed to a date when electric trains will finally carry passengers on its commuter rail system: 2027. Electric trains can accelerate faster and hit higher maximum speeds, and run quieter and cleaner than diesel. trib.al/wcKCAHc
