Transit

Plans to replace the MBTA's methane-fueled buses with zero-emission electric models are on pause.

A multi-year station renovation project will eliminate access between trains and the passenger boarding platform that enters directly into the city's historic Union Station.

A new Amtrak station between Springfield and Worcester is part of the Commonwealth's plans to bring better rail service to more rural parts of the state.

"Cutting almost half of a transit system is not a way to make it more efficient. It more like asking whether you’d like to keep your heart or your lungs."

Buses would also use the proposed new Green Line E branch transitway to bypass traffic between Heath Street and Brigham Circle.
