Newsflash: journalists sometimes miss a point or two. Yes, delays in standing up #NEVI, but it's not as simple as "here's the money".

🚃⚡️🚎⚡️Please do your part to support Legislation that advance electrification of rail Corridors in Massachusetts and advancing projects like East/West Rail, Northern Tier Corridor and Rail Service to Manchester NH while supporting organizations that put in the hard work of advancing these efforts on #givingtuesday . It’s also important to vocalize advancing Funding for the return of clean overhead catenary electric buses in Boston and advance the transition to electric buses in all parts of the Commonwealth equitably for the state RTAs, MassDOT, MassPort (Logan Express), Public Universities and private coach bus companies that serve the commonwealth. Funding Mass Transit Modes and routes address short and long term challenges in Massachusetts. Along with Progressive Zoning Reform to create equity for housing and jobs in New England and the need to address cost of Education and Healthcare we will need every tool in the toolkit. 🌎 #Massachusetts #transitmatters #climateactionnow #infrastructure #infrastructuredevelopment #railroad #housingcrisis #housingforall #zoning #Regionalrail #mapoli #ClimateCantWait #MAZeroEmissionTransit #EnvironmentalJustice #ElectrifyRTAs #ElectrifyCommuterRail

Check out this terrific piece by Smart Cities Dive that focuses on USHSR's new high-speed rail start-up advocacy guide. We especially want to thank lead author and USHSR Coalition member Bernard Cohen of ACI.

Challenges in bringing back transit riders after COVID - and already declining ridership prior to COVID - will lead to a $730 million annual "fiscal cliff" beginning in 2026 after federal emergency funds are expended. New and innovative strategic plans from RTA and Metra, CMAP's Plan of Action for Regional Transit, and legislation sponsored by State Sen. Ram Villivalam and Rep. Eva-Dina Delgado to consolidate the RTA and its three service boards are all bold steps to leverage the moment to fundamentally rethink how we deliver mobility in Northeast Illinois.
