An Act relative to the orange line extension

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to conduct a feasibility study on extending the MBTA Orange Line from Oak Grove in Malden to Roslindale Village in Boston. The study must evaluate various factors, including projected costs, ridership levels, environmental impacts, and available funding sources for the potential expansion. The department is required to submit a detailed report to state legislative committees within 120 days of the bill passing. This legislation affects the state's transportation planning process and the communities along the proposed route by initiating an official review of the project's viability.
