（Boston Orange 綜合報導）大波士頓商會3月6日發表聲明，稱該會研究了８個交通系統主管薪資，建議麻州州長奚莉 (Maura
Healey)在聘請新任麻州地鐵總經理時，應考慮把年薪提高為45 萬到50萬元。
甫辭職離任的麻州地鐵前任總經理Steve
Poftak，2022年時的年薪為，本薪339,144.92元加獎金78,585元。
大波士頓商會（The
Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce）在聲明中表示，該會從華府找了「主管獎勵諮詢（Executive
Rewards Advisory）」這家公司，調查了華盛頓都會區交通局（Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority），芝加哥交通局（Chicago
Transit Authority），新澤西交通局（SEPTA, New Jersey Transit），以及LACMTA，BART，MARTA和多倫多(Toronto)等交通局的相關資訊做比較後，認為以麻州地鐵的規模，系統複雜度，以及目前市場等情況來衡量，要吸引最好的人才，恐怕得給出具有競爭力的本薪45萬元到 50萬元一年的條件。
該報告以曾任麻州地鐵總經理的Randy
Clarke為例，指出他最近被聘為華盛頓都會區交通局執行長，本薪是48萬5千元，外加10%的獎金。
麻州地鐵目前約有員工6000多人，以2022年12月為依據，平均每週發車300萬次，比新冠病毒大流行之前少得多。早前的聯邦交通局(FTA)調查報告稱，麻州地鐵約需增聘2000名員工，才能安全運行。因此麻州地鐵面對嚴重的人力、安全、可靠性等挑戰。
麻州州長的發言人Karissa Hand表示，州政府已經找了K&A公司來搜尋下一任麻州地鐵總經理，目前已進展至最後階段，將會向適合的候選人提出具競爭力的待遇。
Chamber Releases Commissioned Market Data for MBTA General Manager Salary
Compensation of New General Manager Must be an Investment in the Future of the Region
The future of downtown and the entire Commonwealth hinge on the future of the MBTA. It cannot be overstated that we are at a critical turning point with our public transit system that impacts people, families, neighborhoods, and businesses every day. The oldest public transit system in the country desperately needs a General Manager with the transit expertise to lead and transform the complex operations, systems, and workforce. Securing that transit, operations, and management expert is a priority and will require compensation that meets the demands of the market and ensures that the Commonwealth is wisely investing in a role that will strengthen the MBTA.
The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce retained Executive Rewards Advisory, a global, independent firm based in Washington, D.C., to analyze the compensation of executives at the largest, most extensive public transportation systems. The report found that we can expect the MBTA will need to offer the chosen General Manager candidate competitive base compensation in the range of $450,000 to $500,000, given the size and complexity of the MBTA as well as the current market for top talent. The total compensation package will include additional traditional benefits such as health care coverage, retirement contributions, etc.
The report by Executive Rewards Advisory details the compensation of CEOs and General Managers at other large transit systems, including Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Chicago Transit Authority, SEPTA, New Jersey Transit, LACMTA, BART, MARTA, and Toronto Transit Commission. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) was the most recent, complex transit system to hire a new CEO: In June 2022, Randy Clarke, a former MBTA manager, was recruited as CEO of WMATA with a base salary of $485,000 salary and a 10% bonus.
Like the transit system in Washington D.C., the MBTA has a large workforce, services hundreds of thousands of riders from across the Commonwealth, and needs to overcome entrenched safety and reliability issues. As of December 2022, the MBTA’s average week of trips totaled more than 3 million, well below pre-Covid numbers, and the new GM will be challenged to grow this ridership at least in part to help mitigate ongoing local highway congestion. The MBTA employs more than 6,000 employees and needs more. In August 2022, federal investigators concluded that the MBTA might need to hire as many as 2,000 more workers to safely run trains, buses, and ferries at existing service levels.
“This is about the future of the service, safety, and culture of the MBTA, and to ensure success, we must invest in hiring the best expert to lead the system forward. This is a long-term investment in a role that will stabilize and transform our T, which is for the benefit of the people of Massachusetts,” said James E. Rooney, President & CEO, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. “When the administration hires the General Manager, we must ensure that this leader is successful in turning the T around – and a crucial part of ensuring success is accountability. With the appropriate salary, there is the simultaneous demand for the new General Manager to deliver strong results that benefit the future of the Commonwealth. The Chamber will continue to partner with Governor Healey, Secretary Fiandaca, and the new General Manager to drive impact in the operations, workforce, and performance of the T.”
“The employees of State Street depend on the MBTA every day, and we must have a leader who can successfully manage and inspire confidence in our public transportation system. And, for every community in Massachusetts, the T is a lifeline and resource that is a necessity. The study of the necessary compensation for the General Manager reveals what we know to be true: to fix the current challenges of the T, we need to make a significant, strategic investment in this role,” said Ronald P. O’Hanley, CEO of State Street and Chamber Board Chair.
