Massachusetts Turnpike Authority

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority was a government agency responsible for overseeing and maintaining the Massachusetts Turnpike, a major highway running across the state. It managed toll collection, highway maintenance, and improvements to ensure safe and efficient travel. In 2009, its functions were integrated into the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), which now manages the turnpike and related transportation infrastructure. The authority played a key role in funding major projects, setting toll rates, and ensuring the highway’s overall operation for commuters and commercial traffic.
