Declare the MBTA a federal disaster area

Created by P.V. on February 20, 2015

The Boston metropolitan area and the MBTA in particular is suffering from relentless snowfall and frigid temperatures causing a system-wide meltdown and needs assistance to recover from the winter of 2014-2015. Declaring the MBTA as a federal disaster area would open funding and resources to fix this neglected transit system and push the New England economy and Boston area's transportation infrastructure into the 21st century
