MBTA's Repair Plan
As many of you may have heard, state transportation officials recently signed off on weekend closures of portions of the MBTA to speed up repairs along the system. The MBTA control board approved the plan Monday, and the work is expected to begin in October and last through December.
Discussions regarding staffing levels, and the impact this may have on the association, have not yet taken place. However, we do want to make you all aware that we anticipate this resulting in an increase in the amount of overtime needed during this period.
Attached below are links to the articles along with the plan proposal. We will pass along more information regarding the matter as soon as we receive it.
