"Caltrain and BART would very likely be looking at shutting down passenger service," Deputy Director of Policy Development Melissa Jones said. "In that case, the agencies would be focused on maintenance, trying to secure our assets, keep everything safe while we regroup for the future."

'They are small stakes, but, of course, everything that is quintessentially American—property, the right to violence, the right to protect land—are all intensely operative in this space.'

The Grand Penn proposal would move Madison Square Garden across Seventh Avenue, onto or near the former Hotel Pennsylvania site, and use the freed-up space above Penn Station to build a much grander, roomier train hall.

Backers of the K Line extension view it as a crucial component of Metro's strategy to provide a connected transit system, which is essential for residents who depend on public transportation.

The shells were released after U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, who represents Springfield, and Gov. Maura Healey stepped up to negotiate the release. 'For any project, we know that there are things within our control and outside our control,' said MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng, in a statement to Boston.com.

While dozens of other countries have delivered fast, modern train networks, we are stuck with a skeletal system built largely on slow, 19th-century alignments. Even developing nations are passing us by. There is growing recognition at the federal level that things need to change, but substantial and comprehensive reform would require an act of Congress.

The MTA is replacing aging trains that have been running since the 1980s. More than 2,300 subway cars will be purchased, replacing nearly a third of the current subway fleet.

The new structure is taller than the old one, meaning it won't have to open and close for boats on the river. Officials said that would happen dozens of times each year on the old bridge, and it would often get stuck and require a worker to hammer the pieces back into place.

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System faces a roughly $500 million funding gap over the next four years, but it's not due to diminishing services. Regional riders are enthusiastic about the transit system - it has one of the fastest growing riderships in the country and ranks third for the number of passenger trips and passenger miles in California. However, like other major transit agencies such as BART, the MTS kept things moving after the pandemic through one-time emergency funds from federal and state subsidies.

This huge law that we've passed in 2021 - which Joe Biden said was the biggest law for public transit ever and was this enormous investment in inner city rail - ultimately panned out to have very minimal effects. There has been some increase in highway construction. But when it comes to transit investment, unfortunately the country is going in the wrong direction.

A vote six years in the making that would decimate the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system might soon be called off, potentially averting a major funding crisis for the agency - though advocates say there's more work to be done to make sure every DFW resident has the mass mobility options they deserve. Since the beginning of the decade, a handful of wealthy, sprawling suburban cities in the greater Dallas metro have been fighting

Plopping a new, modern building atop a cherished, historic one is not a novel concept. In New York, the Hearst Tower rises out of a six-story Art Deco building from 1928. The Antwerp Port House, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, delicately balances a glass structure above a fire station. And using air rights to develop skyscrapers over transit hubs to fund their improvements is nothing new, either.

The Clipper system serves BART, AC Transit, and 22 other Bay Area transit systems, with more than 1.2 million cards in use in December 2025, the last month for which Clipper data is available. Since the Clipper Card upgrade rolled out on December 10, users have been venting to The Oaklandside. Some people have said they've been unable to access the digital cash balance they had before the upgrade; others have said their cards became inoperable or they had difficulty adding money to them.

Let's start with the biggest issue on the horizon: the proposed merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Yes, the ultimate decision is about a year away. But sides are lining up for and against, and right now, the Surface Transportation Board, which is colloquially known as STB -- the railroads' economic regulator -- is considering the details of how the rules governing that decision will be applied.

San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton, who sits on Caltrain's board, wants Caltrain to work "step by step toward becoming an independent regional agency," he said in a memo to fellow board members last month. The Caltrain board includes three members each from San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties - the three counties where the rail service operates.

In November, TriMet reduced evening service on five bus lines, including the frequent express line on Southeast Division. The agency will implement another wave of service reductions-this time impacting four bus lines-starting March 1. The August reductions are poised to be the biggest round yet. TriMet has proposed changes that could affect or eliminate dozens of bus routes across the Portland metro area, and eliminate a portion of the MAX Green Line.
