An important message from Senator Adam Hinds about the Berkshire Flyer Training Service between the Berkshires and NYC:

We are nearing the end of state budget season on Beacon Hill, and things look promising for moving closer to establishing rail service between New York City and the Berkshires.  As it stands now, the proposed budget contains $370,000 specifically for supporting rail to New York City.  But in these next two weeks, anything can happen.  That’s why I am asking for your help.  Please help us demonstrate support for this project by adding your name to this petition.  

In two weeks, the budget should be finalized.  Help make sure it contains the funding needed for a pilot season beginning next summer by adding your name and sharing this with your friends!

Adam
