I believe that more frequent, reliable public transportation is critical to the growth and development of our community for residents and small businesses.
Greater accessibility: I will work to schedule the Fairmount Line so it runs every 15 to 20 minutes. This will provide greater flexibility for members of our community to commute to work, travel to school, and connect to and from other parts of the city.
Expanded public transportation options: I will ensure buses and trolley services are on-time, accessible, and reliable for our community.
Light rail: Expand service through a light rail from Mattapan Station to Dudley Station to ease traffic along Blue Hill Ave and reduce travel time to Downtown Boston.
Low-income fares: Advocate for reduced MBTA fares for low-income individuals and families.
