One Transportation Agency to Rule Them All in Mass.

4 November 2009 - 11:00am

It is now official: the new Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be the singular transportation and transit agency for the entire state. With the swearing in of its five-member board, the agency can begin its work.

"Gov. Deval Patrick swore in a five-member board to run the newly formed Massachusetts Department of Transportation, which officially launched this week."

"The MassDOT merges all the state's transportation agencies into one department headed by Secretary and CEO Jeffrey Mullan."
