    “All transit workers deserve to come to work feeling safe and protected,” said Interim Secretary and General Manager Phillip Eng. “These employees work tirelessly to serve the public, keeping them moving safe and reliably. Transit workers work 365 days a year to ensure that we have a robust transit system that is safe, supporting riders that depend on mass transportation and allowing everyone the option to choose transit. Know that our labor workforce is dedicated, is a part of the communities they serve, and deserve a workplace grounded in respect and security. I want to thank the Legislature and the Healey-Driscoll Administration for expanding Bill H.4645 to recognize transit professionals. The law affirms that they are entitled to the full protections necessary so they in turn can better deliver the best-in-class transit system that the public depends on and deserves.” Our transit workers are dedicated to getting riders to their destinations safely every day. Just as you rely on them, they rely on you. If you see something, say something with the MBTA See Say app for a real-time response from MBTA Transit Police 24/7.

    Meet the No. 10 Bridge in this year’s Roads & Bridges Top 10 Bridge Awards: MBTA West Route over South Elm Street Bridge – Haverhill, Mass. This project replaced a 120-year-old open-deck rail crossing using accelerated bridge construction techniques, reinforced the original abutments and integrated upgrades to both rail and roadway infrastructure. The result: a modern, resilient rail bridge delivered with minimal service interruptions. 🎉 Congratulations to WSP in the U.S., MAS Building & Bridge, Inc. and MBTA for their outstanding work!

    We've released our 2025 Mobility Integration Plan, which guides how we build connections between modes. This new roadmap will advise our response to integration opportunities, including increasing connectivity between services, building partnerships with other mobility providers across the region, and delivering a more seamless travel experience for riders. We've already begun delivering early action items, such as partnering with MassDOT to develop a comprehensive map of transit, coordinating regional rail schedules with regional transit authorities' bus schedules, and modernizing pedal and park infrastructure.
