Western Massachusetts

MASSPIRG is working to make sure the next federal transportation bill has more funding for public transportation. Here’s what that could mean for Western Massachusetts:

• Commuter rail from Springfi eld to Boston
• Better funding for regional bus service, like the Pioneer Valley RTA
• Commuter rail connecting the I-91 corridor—from Connecticut
through Springfi eld up to Greenfi eld and on to Vermont
• Commuter rail to New Bedford and Fall River
• Passenger rail connecting Providence, Worcester and
Manchester, N.H.
