Mr. Erickson has more than 15 years of experience working at various levels of state and local government. He is a recognized expert in legislative and regulatory affairs. 

 

He recently completed more than four years of service at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) where he served as Chief of Staff.  At the 5th largest transit agency in the United States, which has more than 6100 employees, a $1.5 Billion annual operating budget and a $500 Million annual capital budget, he was able to help lead the chronically under-funded, highly visible quasi-independent agency.  As part of his responsibilities, Mr. Erickson managed the transportation inter-agency coordination efforts and worked directly with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, Massachusetts Port Authority, Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway), the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Executive Office of Transportation.

 

Prior to joining the MBTA, he served as the Legislative Director at the Executive Office of Transportation (EOT). During his time at EOT, Mr. Erickson directed the entire legislative effort on behalf of EOT and MassHighway.
