Focus40 Plan

Focus40 is the long range investment plan to position the MBTA to meet the needs of the Greater Boston region in 2040. On March 18, 2019 the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the MBTA released a draft of the Focus40 Plan. The Focus40 Plan will serve as a comprehensive playbook guiding all capital planning initiatives at the MBTA. It will ensure that the MBTA will become the reliable, robust, and resilient transit system the region will require in the future.
