Ever wondered how the T is planning for climate change? On this episode of Spilling the T, we’re joined by two guests, Katherine Eshel and Caroline Bean, from the MBTA’s Climate Policy and Planning team. Kat and Caroline discuss the T’s two pronged approach to climate change in resilience and decarbonization. We’ll talk stats and data on the T’s environmental impact, how mode shifting to public transit helps decarbonize, why better service and decarbonization go hand in hand, and much more.
