What’s happening with the T is more than an inconvenience, it is unacceptable.

Mere days after announcing a month-long shutdown of the #OrangeLine, the MBTA announced a closure of the #GreenLineExtension that serves the same area of Somerville, between the new #UnionSquare branch & Govt Center. ( 2/8)
These closures will be disastrous for riders in Greater Boston who rely on the T every day and who may have limited alternatives during this historic #HeatWave. 🌡️ For many, walking or biking is simply not an option. ( 3/8)
The poor #OrangeLine service this week is unacceptable. The T must prioritize immediate steps to ensure that enough cars are in service & can operate without delays. The issues with the new cars must be resolved quickly so they can fully replace the old fleet in the near future.
We're pursuing many initiatives to improve our transportation system. Projects are underway to upgrade Oak Grove & Winchester Center stations, a needs analysis is almost complete for Malden Center, & we're calling for accessibility improvements at the Wakefield commuter station.
I'm leading the effort in the legislature to advance the #FairShareAmendment. If successful, this effort will generate significant new revenues to invest in improving our transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and public transit.
This investment in our public transit system was funded by the modest gas tax increase that the legislature approved in 2013. Now we desperately need to expand and accelerate our investment in improved #subway, #bus, #commuterrail and other transportation infrastructure.

In our area, projects to improve #OakGrove station and rebuild #WinchesterCenter station are well underway, and we are also pushing hard for the @MBTA to upgrade the #MaldenCenter station.
