The MBCR provides the MBTA, its supervisory authority, with the benefit of its engineering expertise in connection with network expansion.
The $479 million project currently underway to refurbish the Greenbush line, which is intended to revitalize the region and reduce traffic congestion, is a case in point.
In sum, 4,200 passengers are expected to use this line every day, thereby avoiding 120,000 km of car journeys.
