MBTA's Bold Move: Eliminating Speed Restrictions and Implementing Subway Shutdowns for Long-Term Improvements

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) plans to periodically shut down parts of the subway system for days or weeks at a time in order to eliminate all current speed restrictions by the end of 2024. The plan includes approximately 20 multi-day diversions on specific sections of track, aiming to lift 191 speed restrictions, replace 140,680 feet of rail, and reduce a total of 86 minutes of travel time systemwide. The strategy builds on the success of previous diversions and aims to address years of disinvestment in a shorter timeframe. The MBTA will provide shuttle buses and alternative routes for affected riders during the closures.

The UAW recently ordered the shutdown of Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, prompting Fain to emphasize the union's determination to secure a deal. The strike has already cost the U.S. economy over $5.5 billion and led to thousands of layoffs.
