Frequent, electrified service on the Commuter Rail’s Fairmount Line will address public health inequities in an environmental justice community & serve as a critical pilot project. @ABetterCity applauds the @MBTA Board of Directors vote to advance Regional Rail & decarbonization.
Battery-electric trains are coming to @MBTA_CR Fairmount Line. Today, Board of Directors approved a $54 million plan to acquire BEMU trains for more frequent service, less energy consumption & lower emissions for surrounding communities. #BuildingABetterT

Exciting news that's a long time coming! Kudos to the Fairmount Indigo Transit Coalition, our Regional Rail team at TM for keeping up the faith. The @MBTA & @KeolisBoston are making the first steps towards Regional Rail.

Exciting first step @MBTA!.
The MBTA appears to be committed to a date when electric trains will finally carry passengers on its commuter rail system: 2027. Electric trains can accelerate faster and hit higher maximum speeds, and run quieter and cleaner than diesel.
