As state begins $1M east-west passenger rail study, Palmer seeks a piece of the action
A projected 18-month, $1 million “East-West Passenger Rail Study,” subtitled “A study assessing rail service alternatives along the Boston-Worcester-Springfield-Pittsfield corridor” has begun, Department of Transportation officials said this week. Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack on Monday announced the private consultants MassDOT chose to do the work. “We have now selected the team for that study. It’s led by WSP USA; includes AECOM, Regina Villa Associates, and Keville Enterprises,” Pollack said during the four-hour MasDOT board meeting in Boston.
