BOSTON — The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will hold a virtual public workshop for the Northern Tier Passenger Rail Study on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 6 p.m.  

 

The study is examining the potential benefits, costs, and investments necessary to implement passenger rail service from North Adams to Greenfield and Boston, with the speed, frequency, and reliability necessary to be a competitive option for travel along this corridor. 

 

At this meeting, the study team will present the two initial service plan alternatives and evaluation framework. Feedback received will be used to develop four additional service plan alternatives as part of Phase 2. The meeting materials will also be available after the meeting on the study website. 

 

The meeting information, including the registration link, are currently available on the study website under "Upcoming Events." Once registered, individuals will receive a confirmation email from Zoom with information about joining the webinar.
