The MPO previously published TRANSREPORT as a bimonthly newsletter. The most recent issues of the newsletter are archived on this page in PDF and HTML format.
As of January 2017, the newsletter transitioned to a web-based blog. Like the newsletter, the TRANSREPORT blog features information about recent and upcoming MPO activities, newly released reports, opportunities for public involvement in transportation decision-making, news about transportation projects in the Boston region, updates on recent administrative actions taken by the MPO, and topics discussed at meetings of the Regional Transportation Advisory Council and the Access Advisory Committee to the MBTA.
