First meeting of Worcester Line Working Group

On Thursday 9/29, I participated in the first meeting of the Worcester Line Working Group. This group was formed by MBTA General Manager Brian Shortsleeve and included MBTA & Keolis management along with relevant politicians. The most important thing I learned is that the schedule for the Framingham-Worcester line will NOT be changing in November 2016. But I don't think our petition is a failure - we've opened a dialogue and we're now getting more attention than any other Commuter Rail line. Read my complete report from the meeting on my blog: http://framwormbta.weebly.com/ I DON'T intend to use this change.org petition mailing list as the primary way to communicate with you, since many of you probably don't want updates for every meeting of the Worcester Line Working Group. If you do want more frequent updates, please "like" my new page on Facebook, or subscribe to my e-mail newsletter for notification of blog updates. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/framwormbta/ E-mail newsletter: http://framwormbta.weebly.com/newsletter.html I will post another update to this change.org petition when there is something significant to report. And I will leave the petition open - as we enter another period of public comments, having more signatures can't hurt! Regards Dave
