Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Executive Office of Transportation (EOT) is an office within the Massachusetts Office for Commonwealth Development charged with managing most transportation within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Agencies within the EOT include the Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway), Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission (MAC) and the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority is effectively part of the EOT under 2006 legislation making the Secretary of Transportation chairman of the Turnpike Authority board. The various regional transit authorities in Massachusetts also fall under EOT jurisdiction.

Other transportation-related agencies which are not part of the EOT include the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport).
