The storm is moving into south-western Massachusetts quickly. @MassDOT has been busy over the last 48 hours pretreating roads and making sure equipment is ready. Please try to be off the roads early today to give our plows room to work. @MassDOT @MassStatePolice @MassEMA

We're expecting a major winter storm to hit Massachusetts early Sunday afternoon into Tuesday morning. If you need to travel @MassDOT Highways on Sunday please plan to be off the roads by 3PM if you're west of 495 and by 5PM east of 495. Please drive safely!

On Thanksgiving, I want to express my thanks and gratitude to everyone who works for the @MBTA In particular, I want to offer a special thank you to all the #MBTA employees who sacrificed time with family today to serve our customers. Your work is seen and appreciated.

Join us in congratulating all our union brothers and sisters who competed in today’s 2019 @MBTA Bus Roadeo — especially seven-time champion Willis Rose who took first place. This year was one of the biggest turnouts in awhile with 49 competitors in all. #WeMoveMA #589Pride

Congrats to Green Line Motorman Joe Lynch on his first place win in today’s rail rodeo. Next stop, the international rodeo. In addition to Joe, Rohan Surujbally and Brian McDonough came in second and third place. Great job by everyone who competed today. #WeMoveMA #589Pride

Our historic $8 billion, 5-year capital investment for the @MBTA is translating into significant work here on the Orange Line to upgrade the system and improve reliability. Glad to join T officials for an update on these projects which will improve riders’ experience.
