The investment comes as a result of years of relentless campaigning by the rider and labor groups allied in the Public Transit Public Good coalition, who championed the cause for aff ordable public transportation together with a broad group of transportation advocates. “We need this discounted fare for low-income riders. Many riders struggled to aff ord bus and train fares even before the pandemic. Structural racism and economic exploitation have created deep inequalities in Massachusetts, disproportionately impacting communities of color and working families who rely on transport to get to school, work, and medical appointments. This investment will provide us with Revere, where they remained. During this time, Bob earned his Draftman Certificate and worked at E.G. & G Architectural Firm in Salem, MA for over 30 years before retiring as a supervisor. Bob was always happiest spending his spare time on his boats. He was a longtime member of the Winthrop Yacht Clube in Winthrop. He was a Past Commadore and one of the oldest ever to serve. Bob was also an active member at the Winthrop Lodge of Elks #1078 and the American Legion Post in Winthrop. He was a proud veteran, and was a deep lover of the ocean, being on the water was where he always loved to be. He is the beloved husband of O f Revere. Died in the love & presence of his wife at home in Revere following a long illness. He was 92 years old Bob was born in Malden on June 14th, 1931, to his late parents, Charles R., Sr. & Viola C. (Alquist) Shiner. He was one of six children. He was raised and educated in Winthrop and was an alumnus of Winthrop High School, Class of 1949. Bob enlisted in the United States Airforce on April 4, 1951 during the Korean War. He proudly and bravely served his country and was honorably discharged on April 4, 1955, as a Sergeant. On January 13, 1968, Bob married his wife, Hazel U. (Bolino) and together they moved to much-needed respite,” said Mitikei Chengerei, a resident who has actively advocated for the cause. Nearly half of MBTA’s ridership comprises low-income riders and riders of color. More than 60,000 riders could benefi t as a result of this investment, putting as much as $500 back into each low-income rider’s pocket. “Low-income fare for the City of Chelsea is of utmost importance to ensure we combat environmental racism and promote accessible, affordable, and reliable public transportation,” said Kati Cabral, a Chelsea resident and School Committee member (District 5). This signifi cant investment is receiving enthusiastic support from transit advocates. They believe it's a crucial step to support communities in need and promote economic mobility.

This vital legislation will require the MBTA to permanently provide reduced fares to low-income riders, solidifying the Low-Income Fare Program and making aff ordable public transportation a permanent fixture for those who need it most. “This investment is a signifi - cant victory, and we must keep pushing forward.
