This week, the Federal Transport Authority expects a detailed report on what went wrong with the T. On WBUR's Radio Boston Wednesday, the governor said the MBTA and its general manager 'better' meet that deadline.
Gov. Maura Healey said she met Tuesday with the head of the Federal Transit Administration to assure the agency that just last week scolded the T for repeated worker safety lapses that her administration is taking the matter seriously. The meeting comes just days after even more incidents in which MBTA trains nearly missed workers on the tracks came to light.
"I have confidence in GM [Phil] Eng and what he is is doing. As folks may know, I appointed a new GM to the T, he's the first engineer and first person with any transportation experience in the last eight years," Healey said. Since the FTA put the T on notice last week, at least two additional near misses have been reported, first inJust before noon on Monday, a two-person crew was inspecting northbound Red Line tracks between Harvard and Porter stations when a Red Line train approached. A T spokesman said it was reported that"a flagger signaled for an approaching train to stop but it did not." No one was injured.
