To sign the MASSPIRG petition click on this link or paste it into your web browser http://masspirg.org/action/transit-investment2?id4=TAFSent Gov. Patrick has submitted a transportation bill to the Legislature that includes over $800 million to fund public transportation projects across the Commonwealth. The Legislature needs to hear more voices calling on them to approve the plan -- and not strip out funding for transit in favor of more road spending. This transportation bill will: â€¢ Extend the Green Line to Somerville and Medford â€¢ Add four stops on the Fairmont Commuter Rail line â€¢ Make critical improvements to the Fitchburg Commuter Rail line â€¢ Provide funding to plan for the Urban Ring, commuter rail service to Fall River and New Bedford, the Blue Line extension to Lynn and other projects. â€¢ Give us more parking at transit hubs While this bill isn't a comprehensive solution to address all our transportation needs, it's a good start. MASSPIRG is advocating for more and better transit statewide. That means better regional bus service, a better-managed MBTA, and a fix for the T's structural deficit caused by debt from the Big Dig. http://masspirg.org/action/transit-investment2?id4=TAFSent ************************************************************ You've been sent this email by a friend.
