WMATA has decided not to conduct a full Title VI Equity Analysis as the agency proposes budget cuts that could potentially impact transit-dependent riders.
To date, the Board has taken great strides to address issues related to Transit Equity, however, the decision to not conduct a full Title VI Equity Analysis remains problematic, speaking on behalf of myself.
A slippery slope during a time when we have a President rolling back regulations that protect communities, waiving the rights of Americans, and issuing EOs that disregard systemic racism. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
We're really excited about #RegionalRail Phase 1 being included in this bond bill. This is a transformative project that reimagines what our Commuter Rail network can do for commuters, students, and residents across the region! 👩🏾💼🧕🏻👨🏻🦼👴🏿👨💻
#RegionalRail is about more capacity and more service, it's about #equity, and it's about economic development and more. Thanks to #mapoli for listening. With a few more amendments we can make this a reality.
#RegionalRail Phase 1 is about more trains during peak to relieve congestion 😟on the 🚞 rails and the 🚙🚗 road. In some cases the number of train during the peak (6:30-9:30 or 4-8) will increase by 50%!!! That's thousands of seats on nearly every corridor in and out of Boston!
For @cogwbur, I wrote about yesterday's MBTA derailment and how incidents like this have created a transportation crisis in Massachusetts. #mapoli #mbta

Fixing the T will require voting out politicians who refuse to take Boston's transportation crisis seriously. It will involve amplifying folks like @wutrain @cdempc @transitmatters @MikeConnollyMA and others who've offered tangible solutions. #mbta #mapoli

After this week's MBTA derailments, #TransitEquity must become a new litmus test for Massachusetts lawmakers. We can keep re-electing politicians who don't give a shit about equitable transportation, or we can hire better leaders.
It's our call.
