MBTA awards $10 million contract

Partnering with DMJM+Harris, URS Corp. has agreed to provide design and planning services for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) Silver Line project.

The multiyear contract has the potential to generate $10 million in revenues for URS.

The Silver Line is the fifth rapid transit line in Boston's T system, the oldest public transit system in the U.S., and the first line in the T system to use a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service.

When it is completed, the Silver Line will connect the Boston neighborhoods of Roxbury, The South End and Chinatown to the city's commercial center and South Boston Waterfront District, as well as to Logan International Airport.
