The Rail and Transit Division maintains state-owned track, oversees MassDOT's freight and passenger rail programs, and seeks to increase transportation options. We strive to improve mobility across the Commonwealth by assisting, funding and/or overseeing service provided by the Commonwealth's 15 Regional Transit Authorities, local governments, non-profits, and private carriers.
