FHWA this week extended the comment period for proposed revisions to the “Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices” (MUTCD) to May 14, 2021. The extension will allow additional time for public participation in the first major update in more than 10 years. highways.dot.gov/newsroom/fhwa-…

Finally, I am humbled by the opportunity given me by the Biden-Harris administration @WhiteHouse to serve as Deputy Administrator & Acting Administrator at @TheFHWAOnline, advancing an infrastructure agenda focused on both equity and sustainability.

More thanks go out to the advocates and stakeholders who participate vigorously in all things transportation. We don't always agree but-having played the role myself years ago-I value the inclusion of as many voices as possible as we shape transportation policies and investments.

As I finish my six years as MassDOT Secretary, I want to thank @MassGovernor & @MassLtGov for the privilege of leading the amazing men and women of @MassDOT and assisting the equally dedicated men and women of @MBTA who are working to improve Massachusetts' transportation system.

Adding my thanks to @SpeakerDeLeo for your public service & many accomplishments. I'll always remember you grinning like a kid on Big Papi's last day at Fenway when the Red Sox asked us to wait out some rain in the dugout . . . Enjoy your time at Northeastern as much as I did!

@LaurelinTransit Thanks for everything you have done for the T and its riders.

GM Poftak: @mbta customers must wear face-coverings;now about 60% of regular T schedule running & that matches current demand

Our emptier roads have become more lethal. Despite less traffic, the fatality rate per miles driven jumped in March: injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/… Be safe! Don’t drive faster just because there are fewer vehicles on the road. #KeepEachOtherSafe

Good compliance with face covering noted on my Mother's Day stroll through the Public Garden.
