Bill > H3172

This bill mandates that the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), a public transportation system serving the Greater Boston area, officially rename two of its stations. Specifically, the Copley Station will be renamed either the Copley/Boston Public Library Station or the Copley/BPL Station, and the Science Park Station will be renamed the Science Park/West End Station. The MBTA is required to promptly update all station signage, both inside and outside, to reflect these new names and also to update its maps and other printed materials accordingly as part of its regular operations. The bill declares itself an emergency law, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, to ensure the public convenience is served by these name changes without delay.
