Sets deadlines for electrifying MBTA commuter rail lines in Massachusetts by 2035.
The bill mandates the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to develop and implement a plan for fully electrifying its commuter rail system by December 31, 2035. It requires the MBTA to ensure sufficient zero-emission transit infrastructure is in place to meet this deadline. The plan must maximize ridership returns on investment and comply with state laws on public transit electrification. The authority must also publish and receive public comment on its short-term, medium-term, and long-term electrification plans for each commuter rail line.
