On this episode of Spilling the T, we’re joined by Senator Brendan Crighton of the Third Essex district. Senator Crighton chats with us about his district’s relationship to transit, how transit helps provide economic development to the region, and what T projects are particularly exciting to his constituents. We’ll hear about electrification, ferry service and the environmental justice corridor and how the state legislature is helping to advance transit access across the region.
