	Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is a "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.
		Though the MBTA had agreed to extend the Green Line through the two cities, there had been no progress on the extension since the deal was made in 1990.
		The MBTA covered an expanded area of 78 cities and towns, with a 79th (Maynard joining in or before 1972 and leaving in or after 1976).

	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.
		Second, the Court of Federal Claims concluded that MBTA was entitled to recover, under section 2.2.1h of Exhibit 1 of the Design Agreement, the amount it would have cost to replace the Headhouse wooden floors with new wooden floors meeting the minimum building code requirements, but not the cost of concrete floors.
		On the other hand, MBTA did not definitively know that the terrazzo floor cracking was the result of design error until June 1990, when Stone and Webster presented its report attributing 84% of the cracking to design error and 16% to a combination of contractor and designer error.

	Bench Memorandum - Pace National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition, 1998
		However, under the MBTA, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to determine under what circumstances the hunting of migratory birds is permissible; therefore, the MBTA is not a blanket prohibition against killing migratory birds, it simply prohibits killing migratory birds in an unauthorized manner.
		In addition, the MBTA is the implementing statute for several international treaties that have demonstrated a gradually expanding recognition of the importance of habitat protection for birds.
		The arguments for interpreting the MBTA not to prohibit tree harvesting which may cause bird deaths is discussed in Section III.B. In summary, the MBTA was intended only to regulate the hunting of birds, not the cutting of timber or other non-avian related economic activities that may indirectly kill birds.

		Under this plan, the share of MBTA operating expenses subsidized out of state funds would be brought in line with that for a “peer group” of eight comparable transit authorities.
		We compared MBTA operating efficiency and cost-effectiveness ratios to the peer group of eight transit authorities and to nine of the 15 regional transit authorities operating in Massachusetts.
		That simply means requiring the MBTA to operate under the same budget constraint as other public and private entities and holding MBTA managers accountable for their ability to operate within that constraint.

		At the same time, T officials began removing all bins in MBTA stations that were not bombproof while officers were reminded to remain vigilant about unattended packages, backpacks, or garbage bags similar to those used in the Madrid attacks.
		The MBTA chose to refrain from deploying more police on the system because federal authorities had not raised the threat level, he said.
		At South Station yesterday, MBTA police and Amtrak officials acknowledged that rail stations like the Boston terminal were porous, with no baggage screening of checked or carry-on bags similar to the lethal backpack bombs loaded with shrapnel used in the Madrid attacks.

		The analogy for a parent would be to tell a teenage daughter that she had to pay her own credit card bills but that she could always get the parent to reimburse her for whatever amount she cannot pay out of her pocket– provided that she keeps the receipts.
		Although the MBTA budget is reviewed and approved by both the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board, the state exercises no control over the budgeting process.
		Since the MBTA is obliged to pay any debt obligation before meeting operating expenses, it might have to slow the growth of its operating expenses should an economic downturn occur.

		The MBTA had participated in the project since its inception in 1964, although the project was done under the aegis of the Department of Public Works (now the Massachusetts Highway Department), specifically the DPW's Bureau of Transportation Planning and Development.

		When he received the letter in mid-November from the MBTA announcing that amplifiers would be banned, he was very concerned.

		MBTA trains operate two Boston stations: North Station and South Station; the latter also serves as the northern terminus of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.
		The MBTA followed through on those plans, acquiring commuter lines from the Penn Central (New Haven’s successor) in 1973, and Boston and Maine in 1975, as well as passenger equipment from BandM.
		Motive power for MBTA commuter trains is supplied by EMD F40PHs; F40PH-2Cs from EMD and Morrison-Knudsen (equipped with a separate Cummins head-end power engine), which were later overhauled by MotivePower Industries (and the Cummins HEP engines replaced with Caterpillar generators); and GP40MCs rebuilt from Canadian National GP40s by Alstom predecessor AMF Transport.
