Annual Transportation Forum With MBTA General Manager Phil Eng

June 17, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Join us for a conversation with MBTA General Manager Phil Eng, followed by a panel discussion exploring what it takes to sustain and grow a stronger transit system.

Eng will share progress he and his team have made in turning the T around, including significant strides in eliminating slow zones, orders of new electric commuter rail trains, and bus network redesigns, particularly as it relates to our chamber communities.

Following Eng, Luc Schuster, executive director of Boston Indicators, will present findings from a recent report highlighting how most communities in greater Boston, especially ours, are failing to build the kind of density needed to support transit.

Shuster will be joined by Jarred Johnson, coauthor of the report and former executive director of TransitMatters, and Amy Dain, zoning expert, senior fellow at Boston Indicators, and a member of Newton’s Planning & Development Board.

Together, they’ll explore how smart residential and commercial density can strengthen not only our economy but our public transit system.

Prior to and following the event, the 128 Business Council will provide shuttles between the event venue at TripAdvisor HQ and Newton Highlands Station.

Shuttle Information

  • The event shuttle will depart from Newton Highlands Station (MBTA Green Line, “D-Riverside” branch) at 12:15 and 12:45 PM.

  • At Newton Highlands, the shuttle will pick up at the N1: Needham Shuttle stop, located at the corner of Walnut and Lincoln Streets, just across from the T station. 128BC staff will be on hand at Newton Highlands.

After the forum, we will provide return trips from Tripadvisor to the T station, departing at approximately 2:10 and 2:30 PM, or as needed. The shuttle will pick up right outside Tripadvisor.
