# MassDOT Awards $3M Massachusetts TMA Grants

On November 2, 2026, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) announced $3 million in SFY27 Transportation Management Association (TMA) grants for projects delivered by regional TMAs and a statewide association. Awards support shuttles, ferry service, transit connections, mobility hubs, bike commuting, and other options intended to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips. This is an announcement of awarded funding, not a newly open solicitation; organizations interested in future rounds can consult MassDOT’s TMA Grant Program webpage for application information.

- The awards create funded delivery work for TMA awardees and potential supporting contractors in shuttle operations, transit connections, mobility-hub construction, and related transportation services.
- The largest specific awards listed include **$484,000** for Charles River TMA shuttle service connecting North Station to Kendall and **$400,000** for an Assembly Square mobility hub.
- Contractors and community organizations should distinguish these completed award announcements from open bids and use the program webpage for information about future applications.
