President Joe Biden used to commute daily on Amtrak between his home in Wilmington, DE and Washington, DC when he was in the U.S. Senate. During those days, he was known as Amtrak Joe. For members of the local Citizens for Regional Transit, that is an indication he might be willing to put up the federal dollars to turn the proposed Amherst extension of the Metro Rail into concrete and steel.
CRT dates back to the days when building the Metro Rail wasn’t quite underway and has long been pushing extensions, like the current extension into Amherst. That is now in engineering design, which is paid for.
