Commuter Rail Can Help Connect Us to a Brighter Future
Having commuter rail in this region would benefit all of us, whether we ride the train or not. The proposed New Haven-Hartford-Springfield (NHHS) Commuter Rail Line would create an estimated $150 million in economic activity in this region, far in excess of Massachusetts' share of the building cost. It would also reduce the amount of traffic and congestion along major routes, like I-91, I-84, and I-95, which would help the environment by reducing harmful emissions.
Commuter rail service on the proposed Knowledge Corridor Line from Springfield to White River Junction, VT is also being studied as an affordable travel option for the densely populated communities along the line. This project would also help stimulate economic activity and reduce traffic congestion and pollution in the region.
Please help bring commuter rail to the Pioneer Valley. Every step-- big and small --brings us closer.
