Boston's new MBTA board member talks goals for the role

For the first time, Boston has a designated seat on the MBTA’s board of directors. Last month, Mayor Michelle Wu appointed Mary Skelton Roberts to the volunteer post. Skelton Roberts is an Orange Line rider with a master’s degree in city planning and works for the clean energy nonprofit Climate Beacon Project.
