Future MBTA Contract
Schedule and budget details are shown in Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. This budget was developed using a billing overhead rate of 120.30 percent as
approved by the Boston Region MPO for state fiscal year (SFY) 2025. Beginning
July 1, 2025, and each July 1 thereafter, the overhead rate will be adjusted to reflect
the SFY rate approved by the MPO.
This studyis supported in full with non-MPO funding. Committing MPO staff to this project will not impinge on the quality or timeliness of MPO-funded work.
For the past 30 years, the Graphics Department of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has been responsible for many of the MBTA’s maps. This includes the Official System Map, Rapid Transit Map, Commuter Rail Map, bus maps, and neighborhood maps. When needed, the Boston Region MPO has been contracted to update and correct these maps.
Beginning in the spring of 2025 and until end of 2029, the MBTA will annually add or change a predetermined set of maps to align with the MBTA’s Bus Network Redesign effort. This effort has repercussions throughout the system and requires many maps to be updated. Updates to the MBTA Rapid Transit Map, as well as Neighborhood Maps, Bus Neighborhood Maps, Bus Schedule Maps, and Bus Shelter Maps will be required.
The work required to accomplish the objectives will be carried out in four tasks as described below:
The MBTA will provide a list of maps that will need to be updated for this phase. Using current and up-to-date resources, CTPS will create the new maps required for this phase.
60–70 new maps
