Transportation First and AI Advantage: Leading the Commonwealth Forward
Transportation First is a Chamber initiative to address the transportation crisis in Massachusetts. Creating a world class transportation system requires policymakers, employers, and residents to recognize that transportation is a public good and should be treated as such urgently. By putting transportation first, the Commonwealth will be in a better position to solve other policy issues which are barriers to the region’s continued growth and prosperity like housing, climate decarbonization and adaption, economic development, economic opportunity, and education access.
The moment calls for a long-term and sustainable mobility funding plan, systemic reform, and a vision for strategic super-investments. This will result in business and job growth across the Commonwealth, timelier and more affordable commutes, more accessible and equitable educational opportunities, lower emissions, livable and more affordable neighborhoods, and inclusive economic development.
The Transportation First series will offer a platform to discuss the urgent crisis Greater Boston faces by bringing in experts in the field as well as changemakers to discuss the issues and talk about what the solutions for the future are.
These events will be free of charge and open to members and non-members.
This event will focus on local transportation modes throughout the City of Boston. We will hear from Jascha Franklin-Hodge, Chief of Streets for the City of Boston, who will discuss the City’s current transportation priorities and outline the vision for moving people throughout Boston and its neighborhoods.
This event featured Executive Director of Commuter Rail at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), Mike Muller, and General Manager and CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), Phillip Eng, who discussed the current state and future plans of the Commuter Rail and Regional Rail.

The Transportation First launch event focused on the current state and future plans of the regional transit systems and featured insights from Monica G. Tibbits-Nutt, Secretary and CEO of the Massachusetts Department Transportation (MassDOT), and Phillip Eng, General Manager and CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).
Governor Maura Healey appointed our Chamber’s President & CEO, James E. Rooney, to the state’s Transportation Funding Task Force, which includes public sector leaders and business groups.
The ongoing AI revolution is significantly influencing the region’s businesses, workforce, and economy. As the leading voice of the business community, the Chamber is dedicated to ensuring Massachusetts remains at the forefront of AI innovation both nationally and globally, cementing its role in this technological transformation.
The AI Advantage series will offer a platform to discuss the urgent crisis Greater Boston faces by bringing in leading experts in the field to discuss the many opportunities presented by the AI revolution and the impact of advanced technology on the business community and our region. This series will enhance awareness among the audience. The Chamber is uniquely positioned to unite leaders from all communities and industries, leveraging our relationships to convene the business community on this critical issue affecting employees and employers daily.
In this transformative event, Northeastern President Joseph E. Aoun shared his vision for how to prepare students to be “robot-proof,” ensuring they are equipped with skills that technology cannot replace. The conversation dove into the Chamber’s perspective on how AI is shaping business landscapes, economic growth, and policy decisions in Greater Boston.
During this event, McKinsey & Company presented their “State of AI” report. Additionally, Jason Snyder, the Secretary of Technology Services & Security for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, discussed the administration’s goals for leading the AI revolution, followed by a conversation on how the business community is adopting AI tools.
“Superagency,” a term attributed to LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, describes a supercharging of human creativity and productivity with the use of AI. The report suggests AI could ultimately amplify human capabilities similarly to the telephone, steam engine, and internet.
As the new chairman of the Chamber’s board of directors, Thomas is thinking about how this high-cost region stacks up against others across the country. One of Thomas’s personal projects as Chamber chairman is the creation of a “future of tech” committee in which executives will discuss the best approaches to state policies related to that field that the chamber should endorse.
