CIVIC ENGAGEMENT |
|
|
|
To gather ideas and information as we design the project, MassDOT has launched a comprehensive public outreach process for South Coast Rail. We are seeking to engage all stakeholders, both supporters and opponents of the project.
Our civic engagement includes: |
- Working with the Southeastern Massachusetts Commuter Rail Task Force. The Task Force was formed in 2004 to help the region prepare for the impacts of the re-introduction of passenger rail to the South Coast. Its membership includes representatives from cities and towns and non-governmental organizations, including business associations and environmental groups.
- Regularly providing information to the media. See our News and Media section for an archive of stories.
- Convening regional civic engagement meetings to hear directly from residents throughout the corridor.
- Meeting with individual cities and towns to discuss planning for stations, priority places for encouraging development and preserving natural resources, and addressing traffic, grade crossing, noise, and other concerns.
- Providing periodic State House briefings to legislators and Congressional Members.
