Under the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s, Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt’s, and General Manager Phillip Eng’s leadership, the MBTA made investments to upgrade aging infrastructure, attract talent, and endeavor to regain rider trust.
In 2023, the MTA launched expanded pilots of multiple features to improve wayfinding in subway stations.
The achievement reflects the agency’s commitment to excellence in public transportation and the ongoing efforts to meet the growing demands of its community.
Earlier this year, the dismantled older-model railcars were stripped of hazardous materials and contaminants and inspected and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for deployment as artificial reef material.
The extension introduces unique features, including the first elevated rail station, a rail-only bridge over the I-17 freeway, and seven community-driven public art installations.
