"Accessibility is essential for so many that want and need to use public transportation. I am proud of the teams across MBTA for continuing to deliver these projects making it easier for everyone to use Commuter Rail,” said Interim MassDOT Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng. “Under the leadership of the Healey-Driscoll Administration, we are committed to deliver meaningful projects like this one in Franklin. There are more commuter rail stations accessible today than ever in MBTA history, and we’re not done yet.” On October 20, through the wind and rain, we officially cut the ribbon on Franklin station's new mini-high platform for #TAccess. COO Ryan Coholan celebrated this vital accessibility upgrade and the station's new public art mural with state officials and Town of Franklin stakeholders.

Accessibility improvements help people access trains with wheeled conveyance, injuries, chronic conditions, bicycles, strollers and young children, people carrying more than usual, and people who appreciate the convenience of level boarding - among others! The new mini-highs at West Medford are very popular. Congrats to the T for rolling out these improvements.
Accessibility is so important. Each of these upgrades moves us towards the fully accessible public transportation system we all need and deserve. Kudos.
Great news!
Accessibility helps everyone and harms no-one 👏 What a win for the community, and a project I feel honored to have been a part of.
Straightforward improvements with life changing results! Proud of the collaboration that has transformed the Franklin Station. It’s amazing what we can do, together. #oneTeam
