Feds Approve Funds for Rail Expansion at South Station

The United States Department of Transportation recently approved $32.5 million in grant money to assist the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in expanding and upgrading South Station.

I joined Congressman Mike Capuano and a number of my colleagues at the local and state levels in writing a formal letter to MassDOT Secretary Richard Davey both congratulating MassDOT on reaching this significant milestone towards expansion at South Station, and emphasizing our belief that this grant money should make any expansion of service that uses the Grand Junction railroad unnecessary. The full letter is available below:
