60-foot hybrid buses. The new Tempo BRT stations have overhead variable

San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors
outlined its 30-year, $177-billion general
vision of mobility for the region. The vision
would reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and boost shared transportation options by utilizing what the board
refers to as the "5 Big Moves." The "5 Big
Moves" serve as a blueprint for the vision
that is designed to deliver solutions to traffic congestion, social equity and state and
federal mandates by 2050. The "moves"
include enabling technology through
"Next OS," first- and last-mile options
referred to as "Flexible Fleets," multimodal
roads known as "Complete Corridors," fast
and flexible transit in a move called "Transit Leap" and connection points known
as "Mobility Hubs." A draft 2021 Regional
Plan will be available for public review and
comment in spring 2021 and the board
will be asked to adopt a plan in late 2021.

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has secured an
$851.15-million Railroad Rehabilitation
and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program loan through the U.S. Department
of Transportation's Build America Bureau.
The RRIF loan will be used toward MBTA's
Train Control Implementation and Rehabilitation Project, which will see the completion of the commuter rail network's
positive train control implementation
project, installation of an Automatic Train
Control system and expansion of the authority's buried fiber optic cable network
to cover the entire MBTA commuter rail
signaling system to enhance its resiliency.
Financial close of the RRIF loan for MBTA's
train control project is contingent upon
the project meeting all federal statutory,
regulatory and policy requirements.
