MPO Transit Working Group

Home » Our Work

logo comprising Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization seal with the words Transit Working GroupThe Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) convened the Transit Working Group to help improve coordination among transit providers in the Boston region and represent transit more fully in MPO activities and decisions. MPO staff have asked transit providers and organizations that support transit service in the Boston region to participate. These entities include, but are not limited to, regional transit authorities, transportation management associations, municipalities that operate transit services, and state transportation agencies. Advocacy groups and members of the public are welcome to attend working group meetings.

Transit Working Group meetings, usually held quarterly throughout the year, may include (1) group discussion of transit-related topics, concerns, and solutions; (2) information sharing among transit providers; (3) and/or presentations by MPO staff about the MPO’s transit-related activities and decisions. Transit Working Group meeting formats and content may evolve in response to emerging needs, participant feedback, and lessons learned.

The Transit Working Group also holds periodic informal coffee chats on specific topics or themes of interest to regional transit stakeholders. Notices of coffee chats are posted here and on the MPO meeting calendar, and they are emailed to the working group email list. Coffee chats are capped at 20-30 participants.

Upcoming Meetings

Until further notice, all Transit Working Group meetings and coffee chats will be held virtually on Zoom.
