HR&A led a multi-disciplinary team hired by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to plan, design, and implement a restructuring of the organization. The team identified areas for potential cost reduction, including internal operational restructuring, privatization, and also contracting out functions or services. The ultimate goal of the restructuring was to transform the MBTA from a transportation system dependent on deep public subsidies to a productive organization with an eye toward cost savings and efficiency. Among the specific assignments the firm performed was a restructuring of the MBTA's capital program and project management procedures. This assignment involved detailed review of MBTA management practices, case studies comparing the MBTA's long-term planning policy with that of other major transit organizations, and staffing of a senior oversight body created by HR&A and newly charged with management of the program.
