An Act restoring commuter rail to Cape Cod

SD 311 requires the MBTA to restore commuter rail service between Buzzards Bay station and South Station on the Cape Cod line within 12 months of the law taking effect. The service must operate year-round, with schedules adjusted to match local commuting patterns where feasible, and include at least three morning and three evening peak trips each weekday. This directly affects Cape Cod residents and workers who rely on rail for daily commutes to Boston. The bill mandates concrete operational changes to the MBTA's existing rail network without altering broader transportation policies.
