The T’s Board of Directors, on Tuesday, gave their grudging approval to a fiscal 2025 spending plan that ballooned by 11% — nearly $300 million — over the previous year. The budget, according to its authors, will allow the beleaguered transportation system to spend another year focused on hiring and fixing the many problems it’s finding along the tracks and at stations.

Seth Moulton files bill to invest in high-speed rail projects
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton filed a bill last week to invest more than $200 billion in federal funds into the development of a comprehensive high-speed rail system. Moulton filed the American High Speed Rail Act in partnership with Rep. Suzan DelBene from Washington state’s 1st Congressional District. If passed, the bill would invest $205 billion into high-speed rail projects across the country.
