Gw mau tau MBTA Massachusetts Realty Group dari Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority

As one of the most expansive land owners throughout the Commonwealth, the MBTA established a joint public-private management agency  for managing the MBTA's vast inventory of property holdings and land.

This allows the transit authority to work with entities to obtain right-of-way (ROW) grant on property which the MBTA administers. The agency assists with the processing of all ROW applications as efficiently and economically as possible, and authorizes these grants at the authorized officer’s discretion. Generally, the ROW is granted for an additional stream of revenue to the MBTA outside of normal fare revenue. The agency additionally facilitates persons or organizations wanting to provide concessions, or public advertising potential; or the awardance of property easements.

Occasionally sale of some surplus under-utilized public space under the MBTA real estate agency's responsibility are disposed of though bidding.  This may include lands formerly in use as the state's streetcar network, equipment depots, electric substations, former railroad lines & yards or other properties.  Given the vast long-haul rail routes, the MBTA further determined its desire to work with distance providers of telecom or utilities to provide authorization to use pieces of public land for ROW projects, including: renewable energy installs, electric power lines & energy corridors, optical fibre lines, communications sites, road, trail, canal, flume, pipeline or reservoir uses.
