Ask your legislators to co-sponsor environmental justice bill for the Fairmount Corridor Commuter Rail!
We deserve clean and healthy air, efficient and reliable rail service, and climate justice in our neighborhoods!
An Act Improving Rail Service on the Fairmount Commuter Rail Line (SD.2271 & HD.3315) would do just that. Join the Fairmount Indigo CDC Collaborative as we demand better for our communities!
The Fairmount Corridor (through Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Hyde Park) deserves these changes, as it is already burdened by increased asthma prevalence, particulate matter pollution, no rapid transit system, and other disadvantages that come from being disinvested in for so long. This bill would also bring state-wide opportunities by serving as a pilot for the electrification of the entire MBTA commuter rail system, immediately reducing the Commonwealth’s air pollution levels, and bringing Massachusetts closer to its climate goals.
