Transportation

Join former Massachusetts Governor Dukakis and Doug Most for a conversation about  Boston's transportation through the years. This conversation will take place on Friday, April 4 from 6:30-8 pm at the JFK Presidential Library located at Columbia Point in Boston. 

This conversation will discuss the past, present, and future of urban transportation and Boston's MBTA. Former Governor Dukakis was known for riding the Green line, a distinction that has led to a proposal to rename South Station in his honor. Most's most recent book "The Race Underground: Boston, New York, and the Incredible Rivalry that Built America's First Subway" has received wide praise from The New York Times, The Economist, The Boston Globe, and many more. Join these transportation enthusiasts this Friday for a great conversation.

The Fairmount Indigo Planning Initiative Advisory Group (FIPI) will hold their first meeting on Thursday, June 14 from 8am to 9am in the BRA Board Room on the 9th floor of City Hall. FIPI is a two year BRA study that will look at short and long term strategies for improving capital investment and job access along the 9.2 mile Fairmount Indigo commuter rail line, which links South Station to Readville, crossing through Roxbury, Mattapan, Hyde Park, and the South Bay, Upham's Corner, Four Corners and Codman Square areas of Dorchester.

All FIPI advisory group meetings are open to the public and will be posted at the BRA website www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org and at the FIPI website at www.fairmountindigoplanning.org.
