New Acela trains were unveiled at Boston's South Station and federal officials signaled plans to improve station conditions along the Northeast Corridor. USDOT announced it is reclaiming management of Washington's Union Station to restore the federal asset and make the facility safe and beautiful. USDOT and Amtrak assumed control of the Penn Station overhaul from the MTA, withdrew $73 million in grant funding, appointed a new project director, and awarded a $43 million grant to begin work. USDOT indicated construction on the Penn Station Transformation will begin by the end of 2027.
Here in South Boston, we need to address the cleanliness, the crime, the safety, and security of the station for the rail workers, for the passengers, because the people of Boston deserve that,
All the people up and down the Northeast corridor and Americans who travel on these trains, they need and deserve beautiful rail facilities.
strong direction is needed to restore this federal asset to its former glory.
Instead of being a point of pride, Washington's Union Station has fallen into disrepair. By reclaiming the station management, we will help make this city safe and beautiful.
