MassDOT and the MBTA work hand-in-hand to make sure our transportation system is safe, reliable and modernized,” said Interim MassDOT Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phil Eng. “I look forward to taking on this interim role with MassDOT and working even more closely with Undersecretary Gulliver and their great team to deliver the world-class transportation system that the people of Massachusetts and our visitors deserve.
