Idea Category: Transportation
This week, Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll and New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell celebrated the completion of the South Coast Rail project and opening of the Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Line. This is the first rail line to provide service from New Bedford to downtown Boston in over 65 years and will shorten commute times for riders and lessen traffic for drivers. “Intercity rail service between New Bedford and Boston will be yet another good reason to live in our region,” Mayor Mitchell said. “I am grateful to all the elected officials, business leaders, state officials, and the many supporters from Fall River for the team effort to advance this complicated project, and to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for getting it over the goal line.”
