Abstract:

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) South Coast Rail Project aims to restore 52 miles of commuter rail service between Boston and the Massachusetts South Coast in order to enhance public transit systems. Figure 1 shows the project area with existing stations, new stations, new layovers, and reconstructed stations marked along the corridor. In the 2013 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and MassDOT analyzed the project for climate change impacts related to sea level rise. The FEIS also included climate change as part of the cumulative impacts analysis in terms of potential climate change effects on biodiversity and threatened and endangered species. The analyses found no significant climate change impacts on the project or in the cumulative impacts analysis.
