Investigating MBTA Commuter Rail Troubles

Yesterday the Massachusetts State Senate Republican Caucus formally requested public hearings by the Joint Committee on Transportation and the Senate Committee on Post Audit and Oversight be conducted to determine the causes of the many service disruptions in the MBTA Commuter Rail system that have occurred over the past several months.

The hearings that the caucus requested would provide an opportunity for the public, government officials, and transportation experts to identify the cause of the service disruptions and solutions to prevent them from happening in the future.

Signed copies of the letters sent to the chairs of the committees by the Republican Caucus are posted below along with a recent State House News report.
