About us
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often referred to as the MBTA or simply The T, is the public operator of most bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, area. The MBTA is the largest transit provider in New England, and the fifth largest in the country. The MBTA directly operates or contracts out for service using eight different modes: heavy rail, light rail, bus rapid transit, local/express bus, trackless trolley, commuter rail, commuter boat, and paratransit. In Boston, 55% of all work trips and 42% of all trips into downtown are made by transit. The MBTA district is made up of 175 communities with a total population of 4.7 million. Almost three-quarters of all Massachusetts residents live within the MBTA service area.

“The work to take place on the Braintree branch in September is unprecedented but long needed,” said General Manager and CEO Eng. “The MBTA is committed to not only restoring our system to deliver safe and reliable service, but we are focused on building it back better. While each of these critical but necessary closures impacts your travels in the short term, the public will gain long-term benefits. Once complete, we estimate that our riders taking a round trip between Braintree and JFK/UMass stations will save 24 to 27 minutes a day."

“The Healey-Driscoll Administration understood from the beginning that rebuilding our workforce was paramount to restoring the reliability of safe public transit. I’m thankful for the efforts across our organization that negotiated and settled these contracts with our labor partners in record time. These contracts provide a level of stability we haven’t seen in decades,” said General Manager and CEO Eng. “Union workers and the new hires we’re eager to bring on are on the frontline of providing reliable safe service for many communities. I’m so proud to stand side by side with the MBTA workforce.” ICYMI: We're proud to have successfully negotiated agreements with all 28 affiliated labor unions. This monumental achievement finalizes 4-year contract terms for all 16 collective bargaining agreements, rectifies long-standing labor concerns, and aims to strengthen and expand our workforce. https://ow.ly/HXzE50SzOJn #MBTA #Massachusetts #Workforce #EmployeeRetention #Careers

“We are committed to rebuilding our infrastructure making our stations more welcoming and fully accessible for all. On July 1, the MBTA reopened the center platform at Union station for our Worcester passengers,” said General Manager and CEO Eng. “Union station is a critical transportation hub for the Worcester community. The upgrades will ensure safe and more reliable service that allows two trains to serve the platform, which is a significant improvement to prior service that was limited to only one train at Union station. The reopening of this platform is another step forward towards improving service to the Worcester area. Thank you to the leadership of the Healey-Driscoll Administration for their focus on the MBTA and the services we provide to better enable us to deliver this critical project. I’m proud of the dedicated hard work of the MBTA Capital Delivery team and appreciate the support of the Worcester community; as we welcome you back to this new and improved platform.” On July 9, General Manager Eng joined Lt. Governor Driscoll, City of Worcester Mayor Petty, MBTA Board Member Goodwine, local elected officials, and stakeholders to officially celebrate the opening of the new fully accessible, high-level, center-running platform at the Commuter Rail's Worcester Union station.
