2026 Transportation First | State of Public Transit

Join us on Thursday, March 5, as we continue the Chamber’s Transportation First series - an initiative dedicated to confronting the Commonwealth’s most urgent transportation challenges and shaping long-term solutions for Massachusetts. Through this series, we convene leaders and innovators whose work directly influences the daily experience of employees and employers who rely on a strong, reliable transit system. 
 
This session will feature Phillip Eng, Interim MassDOT Secretary and MBTA General Manager, who will share key insights into the current state of the MBTA, the strategic direction guiding the future of public transportation, and the Administration’s approach to improving transportation infrastructure throughout the Commonwealth. His leadership and vision will set the stage for the Chamber’s expanded 2026 Transportation First programming, which will continue to highlight critical mobility issues, track progress, and elevate the voices driving meaningful change across Massachusetts. Through this series, we convene leaders and innovators whose work directly influences the daily experience of employees and employers who rely on a strong, reliable transit system.
