Massachusetts Bills

This bill is a routine procedural submission where Massachusetts' Comptroller delivers the MBTA's planned spending report for fiscal year 2026 to state lawmakers. It does not create new laws or policies but transmits an annual report required by existing state law. The report details the MBTA's transfer schedule (funding allocations) for the upcoming fiscal year.
