Measurements of the radial electric field have been obtained on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor utilizing the motional Stark effect diagnostic. A large negative excursion in the radial electric field occurs before the transition to the enhanced reversed magnetic shear mode. The electric field is localized to a narrow spatial region and is not observed in discharges without the transition to improved confinement. Concomitant with the radial electric field excursion is a change in the measured impurity poloidal rotation velocity and bursts of magnetic fluctuations. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
