Middleboro Route

Senator Mark Montigny is cautiously optimistic of having South Coast Rail service by 2022 after being notified of a key filing for the project.

State Rep. Antonio Cabral sent a follow up letter to Transportation Sec. Stephanie Pollack on Tuesday.

The Fiscal and Management Control Board of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation surprised many on Monday when, instead of discussing a proposed Middleboro route for Southcoast Rail, they decided to study the possibility of dedicated bus routes from Fall River and New Bedford to Boston.

House Speaker pro Tempore Patricia Haddad is giving her support to a Southcoast Rail route going through Middleboro.
