Bill > S2394

This bill requires the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), which is the public transportation agency serving the Boston metropolitan area, to establish year-round daily commuter rail service connecting Buzzards Bay station and South Station in Boston via the Cape Cod line. Specifically, the bill mandates that within 12 months of the act's effective date, the MBTA must begin operating train service with at least three morning peak-hour trips and three evening peak-hour trips on weekdays. The bill also stipulates that the train schedules should, to the extent possible, be aligned with the typical commuting patterns of residents in the service areas. This legislation aims to improve transportation options and connectivity for Cape Cod residents and commuters, providing a reliable public transit link between the Cape and Boston.
