Mayor's Office

Thomas M. Menino, Mayor of BostonI have always believed the purpose of government is to help improve people's lives, and I'm thrilled about leading Boston forward in the years to come. I'm equally dedicated to utilizing the latest technology to create helpful resources that benefit Bostonians.

Our website reflects these ideas. It is another important tool that can simultaneously streamline government services while enhancing the strong connection and exchange of information between city government and Boston's residents and visitors.
