Help Inform Boston’s Involvement on the MBTA Board

Earlier this month, the State Legislature and Governor passed a state budget that created a City of Boston seat on the Board of Directors of the MBTA, giving the City a direct role in the governance of the region’s public transit system.

Boston’s economic strength, community well-being, and cultural vibrancy depend on public transportation and the City is ready to partner on the urgent endeavor of building the quality transit that our entire region deserves.

In the coming weeks, Mayor Wu will be considering candidates to serve on the Board of Directors, which meets monthly and holds monthly subcommittee meetings. Click here to learn more about leadership at the MBTA.

Those interested should be:

A resident of Boston;
A public transit rider;
Connected to communities of transit riders, including employees, customers, and students; and
Committed to high quality, reliable, and affordable public transportation as a core strategy of economic growth, cultural vibrancy, and quality of life.

We are also asking residents and community members to help inform Boston’s involvement on the MBTA Board. Please submit your ideas and/or interest by Tuesday, September 5th at 5PM.
