Join us at our March luncheon as we hear from MBTA General Manager & CEO Phillip Eng.
Phil Eng brings over 40 years of transportation experience to his role as General Manager and CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). Underpinned by a $20 million investment from the Healey-Driscoll Administration, under Eng’s leadership, the MBTA has revamped its senior leadership team, enhanced safety protocols, and bolstered its engineering, planning, frontline, and workforce development and training programs. Under Eng's leadership, the MBTA is tackling years of disinvestment on an accelerated timeline. The Track Improvement Program, initiated in November 2023, represents the first comprehensive track repair and replacement endeavor embarked upon by the MBTA in recent history. This ambitious plan is on course to eliminate all speed restrictions while bringing our track infrastructure closer to a state of good repair by the end of 2024. Before his role at the MBTA, Eng's extensive experience in the transportation industry has been instrumental in advancing the transportation landscape of New York, having served in various leadership roles, including as the President of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Long Island Rail Road Chief Operating Officer of the MTA, Interim President of NYC Transit and Executive Deputy Commissioner and Chief Engineer for the NYS Department of Transportation. During his tenure, he has overseen significant operational and capital improvements across these agencies, successfully implementing initiatives to modernize ticketing systems, enhance contracting methods, revitalize aging infrastructure, and improve system performance.
