	Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is "a body politic and corporate, and a political subdivision" of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts [1] formed in 1964 to finance and operate most bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater Boston, Massachusetts, USA area.
		The outer routes to the north and south were bought from the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway in 1968, and the west suburban routes in 1972 from the Middlesex and Boston Street Railway (note: both of these companies had long since ceased running any streetcar service).
		Massachusetts agreed to build several transit projects as remediation for the environmental impacts of the Big Dig.

	MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY v. U.S.
		Because this court agrees that MBTA is entitled to recover only the amount it would have cost to replace the Headhouse floors with new wooden floors meeting minimum building code requirements, not the cost of the concrete floors actually installed, this court affirms the judgment with respect to that conclusion.
		Caspe asserts that Table 214 of the Massachusetts State Building Code requires a fire resistance rating of 1½ hours for the Headhouse floors, and that wooden floors by themselves would not comply with the 1½ hour rating even if fire retardant wood were used.
		Caspe also concludes that section 2203.3 does not apply to the Headhouse floors because that floor system is a “building system” as defined in section 2201.0, and the Headhouse floors cannot be an individual component of an existing building system within the meaning of section 2203.3.
