To the Honorable Board:
I hereby appoint Wig Zamore to serve as my designee as a member of the Technical Advisory Group for the study of the Safety Impacts of Ethanol Transportation by Rail through the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett and Revere. The MA Dept. of Transportation (MassDOT) has initiated this study in fulfillment of the requirement outlined in Section 24 of Chapter 242 of the Acts of 2012, which charges MassDOT with completing a study “to determine the impact on public safety of transporting ethanol by train through the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, and Revere.”
The Technical Advisory Group will be responsible for reviewing the interim study deliverables and providing feedback to MassDOT at several meetings over the course of January and February of 2013; the legislation requires completion of the study by February 9, 2013.
