Transportation for Massachusetts

(T4MA) is dedicated to creating just and equitable transportation so that every community can flourish.

THE 2026 CHAMPIONS INSTITUTE IS IN SESSION!

On Wednesday, May 6, 2026,the newest cohort of the Champions Institute convened in Worcester, MA for the kick-off session and a guided walk-audit lead by WalkMassachusetts.

Transportation for Massachusetts (T4MA), established in 2010, is a statewide coalition focused on improving Massachusetts’ transportation systems. T4MA is committed to addressing the decades of inequitable transportation policies adversely impacting low-income, working class, Black, indigenous and communities of color.
T4MA works towards a Commonwealth with transportation systems that connect people with their choice of housing, economic opportunities, healthcare, and accessible and reliable public transportation that benefits residents in all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts. Our coalition advocates at the federal, state, and local levels for transportation policies that are just, safe, reliable, accessible, equitable and affordable.

Take Action

Our goal is to eliminate disparities and improve outcomes for everyone, particularly those that have been historically, disproportionately impacted by transportation injustice, are transit dependent, and/or are underserved by our transportation systems.

Everyone deserves safe, reliable, accessible, equitable and affordable transportation. Join us in advancing transportation justice for all so that every community can flourish.

Join Us at the Boston City Council Snow Removal Hearing!

The Boston City Council is having a hearing on snow removal on Tuesday, March 3rd, at 2pm.

Since the storm in January, the City of Boston has already logged over 6,000 snow-related complaints. Since then we have had more snow events, piling onto the safety and accessibility concerns.

Often, roads are cleared for drivers but the reality on the ground for pedestrians is dangerously icy and unworkable. When we don’t clear the paths, we shut neighbors out of the conversation.

T4MA, along with members of the Transit is Essential coalition and the Shared Spaces advocacy group, will be attending the upcoming hearing to offer public testimony. We are inviting YOU to join us, to share your concerns with the City and your councilors.

Let your voice be heard!

Boston Transportation Advocates Thank Mayor Wu for Protecting Critical Staff, Urge City Council to Affirm Move and Prevent Layoffs

“We thank Mayor Wu for moving to reverse the $1.4 million cut to the transportation department’s personnel budget and protect staff whose jobs were at risk. This action is an important step toward preventing layoffs that would impair the City’s ability to keep our streets safe and our transportation system moving.

The staff whose jobs were at risk fix our most dangerous intersections, deliver faster and more reliable buses, improve pedestrian crossings near schools and health centers, optimize traffic signals to reduce delay for drivers and riders alike, and help Boston advance the critical transportation projects residents depend on. Their work reduces crashes, saves lives, and connects us all.

Preserving these positions also protects Boston’s ability to compete for state and federal transportation funding and continue delivering projects that make our streets safer, more reliable, and more accessible.

We strongly urge the Boston City Council to affirm the Mayor’s action and adopt a final budget that preserves critical Transportation Department staff and avoids layoffs.”
