Healey-Driscoll Administration Launches Climate Action Campaign  

“Climate Action is for All of Us” media campaign designed to encourage individual climate actions  

BOSTON – The Healey-Driscoll Administration today launched a statewide media campaign to raise awareness about climate change and promote ways individuals can take action. “Climate Action is for All of Us” encourages residents to explore ways to participate in state initiatives such as energy efficiency, weatherization, electric vehicle adoption, and residential solar programs. The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) conducted research to assess Massachusetts residents' perceptions, motivators, and barriers to taking climate action. The research found that many residents were interested in shifting their behaviors to mitigate their environmental impact. The media campaign will direct to resources hosted on www.mass.gov/ClimateAction.  

“In the face of extreme heat, storms, and floods, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by climate change. But our new campaign reminds us that we can all take action in big and small ways to protect our communities and reduce emissions,” said Governor Maura Healey. “Many of these actions will save costs in the long term, like weatherization and installing solar. More electric vehicle rebates are now available for low-income residents through our MOR-EV program. Our administration is committed to making climate action as accessible as possible for everyone.” 

"The benefits of weatherizing your home, installing energy-efficient appliances, and transitioning to electric vehicles are countless,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “All of the initiatives and resources are meant to not only protect our environment but also benefit each resident's health, community, and finances.”  

“The state’s climate plan comes down to four big things – switching our energy supply off of fossil fuels, electrifying our buildings, reducing transportation emissions, and maximizing the potential of our natural lands,” said EEA Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “So many people want to make a difference but don’t know where to start. ‘Climate Action is for All of Us’ provides an easy resource for our residents to get engaged and protect our communities.” 

"For years, we've been seeing the disruptive impacts of climate change across the world. Coupled with the massive energy transition we're in, the way we live our lives is changing," said Climate Chief Melissa Hoffer. “Through this campaign, Massachusetts is leading in a solutions-based approach to climate change. We encourage everyone to learn what they can do to protect their communities and do their part in spreading awareness of how climate change is reshaping our world." 

 

Informed by recommendations from the Office of Climate Science and Innovation, the Clean Heat Commission Report, and the Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2050, EEA utilized insights and data to create an integrated marketing strategy to engage residents through statewide public outreach via accessible and inclusive materials distributed online and in person.   

An integrated media strategy designed to maximize reach and engagement will support the effort. Paid Advertising will run from March 11 through Earth Day, and will include a mix of proven digital video, display native, and search advertising to build awareness and engagement. The next phase of the campaign will focus on bringing climate action to environmental justice communities. Out of home advertising will bring campaign messages to different cities across Massachusetts such as Boston, Lawrence and Springfield via advertising on billboards and buses. Samples of the advertisements can be viewed here.  

 

 

 

The campaign provides climate-action educational resources on the following topics for people in their homes, on the go, in their yards, as well as how to improve resilience: 

·            In your home 

·            On the go 

·            From the sun 

·            In your yard 

·            Resilience

麻州Allston 多式聯運項目喜獲聯邦經費3億3540萬元

(Boston Orange摘譯) 麻州政府3月11日宣佈，波士頓的奧斯頓多式聯運 (Allston Multimodal) 項目贏得了3.354億美元聯邦資金。 

這是麻州政府和波士頓市政府，哈佛大學、波士頓大學，以及地方夥伴合作，研擬，並於2023年9月向美國交通部的”重新連接社區和鄰里撥款計劃 (Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Grant Program (RCN)”申請經費的結果。

               聯邦政府為該計畫從2023會計年度中的不分黨派基礎建設法，以及縮減通貨膨脹法，撥備33億元經費，幫助州市地方改善高速公路交通，以及其他交通基礎建設，以掃除地方社區在連接上的障礙。

               麻州政府提出的方案為拆除I-90公路，連接麻州奧斯頓和聯邦大道部分高架橋，以改善鄰近道路和鐵路迴廊的交通，建新道路，擴大水前公園，以及開放空間，內容包括沿著Worcester通勤火車線建造MBTA的西車站，一條新的自行車道，以及行人橋，4公頃的新公園地等。

               麻州政府表示，自從奚莉（Ｍaura Healey）州長和Kim Driscoll副州長上任以來，麻州已爭取到30億元的聯邦經費，目前還有20億元的經費申請在等待結果中。奧斯頓多式聯運計畫爭取到的經費將資助許多基礎設施工程項目是獲得資助經費的項目之一。

               麻州政府還在等聯邦政府審批其他的交通經費申請，包括10億600萬元的橋樑投資項目。

Healey-Driscoll Administration Celebrates Winning $335.4 Million in Federal Funding for Allston Multimodal Project 

BOSTON - The Healey-Driscoll Administration is today celebrating news that it has won $335.4 million in federal funding for the Allston Multimodal Project in Boston.  

The project will replace the Allston Viaduct, which carries the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) from the Allston Interchange to the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and makes transportation infrastructure improvements to nearby roads and the railroad corridor. Additionally, the project will create new and improved access to expanded waterfront parks and open space in an Environmental Justice community. It includes construction of the MBTA’s West Station along the Worcester Commuter Rail Line, a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge, and four acres of new parkland. 

The award announced today follows the administration’s application in September 2023 to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Grant Program” (RCN) that provides funding to remove or mitigate highways and other transportation infrastructure that create barriers for community connectivity. The federal program includes $3.3 billion in funding for FY23 from both the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.  

The successful application for RCN grant funding announced today was the result of close coordination with the City of Boston, Harvard University, and Boston University, in addition to other local partners.  

“This is another major win for Massachusetts. The Allston Multimodal Project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve transportation infrastructure in the Allston community and better connect residents across the state with housing and job opportunities,” said Governor Maura Healey. "We’re grateful for the partnership of the Biden-Harris administration, our Congressional delegation, the City of Boston and other partners to drive progress on this important project.” 

“Our administration continues to bring people together and drive progress on critical infrastructure projects that have long been stalled in our state. The Allston Multimodal Project is part of our commitment to making investments that are good for the economy and good for our residents, whether they want to travel on foot, on bike, on public transportation, or by automobile,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “This federal grant will help build a project that will have widespread benefits in the decades ahead, improving access to the Charles River, between Boston and points west, and for everyone taking trips in the Allston area.” 

“The Allston neighborhood will no longer be cut off from the Charles River and other nearby destinations by an elevated highway when the multimodal project is built,” said Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “The Allston Multimodal Project will be transformational for people who live, work, and travel in this area of Boston and the federal grant puts us on the way to getting the necessary funds to advance the project’s design and construction.” 

“The City of Boston is grateful to our federal delegation and to MassDOT for their support in moving this transformational project forward,” said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. “The Allston Multimodal Project will improve public transit, expand parkland, reconnect residents to beautiful open space along the Charles River, and create new opportunities for housing and jobs—and bring much-needed fixes for crumbling infrastructure. We will continue to work with the Allston community to refine a design that improves for our City for generations to come." 

The multimodal project will result in many benefits, including, reconnecting a neighborhood currently separated by an interstate highway and advancing environmental justice, increasing access to regional multimodal transportation, providing a unique opportunity for equitable economic and workforce development, and building on comprehensive community engagement for the future transportation network in this area.  

The Healey-Driscoll Administration has secured nearly $3 billion in federal funding grants since taking office and currently the administration has $2 billion in pending grant requests. The Allston Multimodal RCN application is among other federal funding awards for transportation projects: 

a $108 million award towards West-East rail,  

a $375 million award for the Sagamore Bridge project, 

$249.4 million for the MBTA in discretionary grant funding, and,  

A $116 million grant for the MBTA’s purchase of battery-electric buses.   

In addition to the RCN grant of $335.4 million announced today for the Allston Multimodal Project, other RCN grant awards have included:  

$452,000 - Haverhill- Removing the Scars of Urban Renewal 

$561,000- Lynn- Riverworks Reimagined  

$1.2 million- Everett- Uniting Neighborhoods and Transit Opportunities 

$2.4 million- Cambridge- Fitchburg Commuter Rail- Pedestrian crossing 

$2.5 million- Boston- Chelsea Creek Waterfront  

The Healey-Driscoll Administration continues to wait for federal government review of other transportation grant applications, including an application for $1.06 billion in grant funding through the Bridge Investment Program (BIP) Large Bridge Project Program for replacement of the Sagamore Bridge. MassDOT is the lead applicant, applying jointly with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as the owner of the bridge.   

To learn more about the Allston Multimodal Project, please visit: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/about-the-allston-multimodal-project 

In 2023, the Healey-Driscoll Administration established The Federal Funds & Infrastructure Office (FFIO) to lead an ambitious inter-agency strategy for the state to successfully compete for the historic levels of federal funding available from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the CHIPS and Science Act, and more. FFIO is responsible for tracking federal opportunities, facilitating the submission of successful applications for federal funding, and advocating on behalf of Massachusetts projects that advance key priorities including infrastructure, jobs, economic competitiveness, affordable housing, clean energy, decarbonization, resilience, equity, and workforce development. 

FFIO chairs the Advisory Council on Federal Funds and Infrastructure which includes designees from each executive office and serves as the government-wide coordinating body for the Commonwealth's federal funds strategy. 

FFIO also leads the monthly Massachusetts Federal Funds Partnership meeting which provides information on available federal funding opportunities and advises local government on which federal grant programs can best help them meet their needs.  To learn more, please visit: https://www.mass.gov/orgs/federal-funds-infrastructure-office 

“This successful award for the Allston multimodal project and the five other Reconnecting Communities awards are the result of our whole-of-government strategy to maximize the federal funding available to Massachusetts for improving infrastructure, providing increased access to multimodal transportation, and furthering our climate goals, all while creating good paying jobs and equitable economic growth.” said Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure Quentin Palfrey. “Thank you to President Biden, Secretary Buttigieg and our partners in the Massachusetts congressional delegation for making possible this exciting award. We look forward to continuing these strong partnerships to secure funding for communities across Massachusetts.” 

To learn more about MassDOT’s process for allocating federal and state funding, please visit the webpage for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).  The STIP is a list of projects prepared yearly by The Office of Transportation Planning. The list includes projects such as multi-use paths, bridges, roads, sidewalks and transit investments. The STIP is a combined effort between MassDOT and many state agencies that work together to design and build highways and transit projects:  https://www.mass.gov/info-details/state-transportation-improvement-program-stip. 

“The $335 million we’ve secured for Allston will be transformational to the city and make the kind of changes to peoples’ lives that they can see and feel,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren. “Families in Boston, especially those who are disadvantaged, deserve this funding to connect their communities with public transit and new bike lanes, to open more public spaces for our kids to play outside, and to create thousands of good, new jobs.” 

“With this funding for the Allston Multimodal Project, we’re healing the scars of antiquated highway projects that ripped apart Black, brown, and low-income communities. We’re advancing an effort that centers environmental justice communities in Allston and Brighton, better connecting these neighborhoods with each other, with the rest of Greater Boston, and with our Commonwealth as a whole,” said Senator Ed Markey. “This monumental project will benefit environmental justice communities in Allston and Brighton, expand public transit access, enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists and improve travel for people traveling between Boston and places west of the city. I was proud to advocate to Secretary Buttigieg personally on behalf of this project, and I am grateful for the shared advocacy with Senator Warren and our entire congressional delegation.” 

“Transit justice is a matter of racial justice, economic justice, and public safety, and this critical federal investment will bring us closer to realizing our collective vision for transportation that works for every user,” said Rep. Ayanna Pressley, founding Co-Chair of the Future of Transportation Caucus. “I am proud to have helped secure this federal funding, which will help address the dysfunction of the current lay-out and give us the opportunity to build equitable, accessible, and safe commuting options that Allston Brighton residents and folks across the Massachusetts 7th deserve. I am grateful to our community members and transit justice advocates for their years of organizing that has helped make a more sustainable and equitable future possible.”

             殷民俊致詞時先致歉，笑說好事多磨，從紐約搭火車來波士頓，竟然車開到128公路時，就沒法繼續開了。他們一行人只好改搭Uber，幸好在宴會開場前趕到了。他稱許台山鄉親們多年來在海外努力打拼，同舟共濟的改善生活，還不忘愛國愛鄉，回饋社區，推動中美之間的經貿交流、合作。他相信將來中領館和台山鄉親們還可以一起爭取更多，更大的成就。

紐約中領館領僑處副主任殷民俊致詞。(周菊子攝)

殷民俊指出，今年是中美建交45週年，也是中華人民共和國成立75週年。過去這45年來，中美關係經歷過許多波折、起伏，但總體是向前發展的，而且中美合作的成果，也惠及兩國及世界人民，相信僑胞們對這最感同身受，最有發言權，更是見證者，親歷者，貢獻者，受益者。他說，習近平總理和拜登總統去年在舊金山會晤，就中美關係的將來方向如何走，達成很多共識，希望僑胞繼續發揮融通優勢，做好中美之間的橋樑，因為中美關係好了，在美國的僑胞才會更好，紐約中領館將盡責繼續為僑胞提供好的服務，歡迎僑胞提供意見。

紐英崙中華公所主席雷國輝在致詞時，稱許台山鄉親會人才濟濟，成立20多年來，致力服務鄉親，回饋社區，做了許多事，茶敘活動更讓台山鄉親們，有機會從四面八方匯聚，以家鄉話交談，紓解思鄉情緒，對安定人心起了很大作用。

由於新冠病毒疫情後不但物價飛漲，疫情還有回溫跡象，今年籌辦春宴更加不容易。台山鄉親聯誼會會長黃紹培在開場致詞時，特地說非常，非常的感謝鄉親及僑團各界支持，捧場，強調這晚相聚，盼能聯絡感情，增進友誼。

黃紹培還私下感嘆道，往年在善長仁翁贊助下，該會每月辦茶敘，象徵性的收10 元，就為奉上一份豐盛茶點，讓鄉親們把盞暢敘，十分開心的每次都有一、二百人參加。新冠病毒疫情後，百物飛漲，一年10元的會員費，卻一直未漲，捐助者又大減，以致該會現已無力繼續每次需補貼千餘元的每個月舉辦茶敘。希望有朝一日，經濟好轉，能夠重新推出每月茶敘。

台山鄉親聯誼會目前仍以位於必珠街上的黃官羨閱報室為主要聚會，聯繫場所。
