Michael Stanley Dukakis served as the 65th and 67th Governor of Massachusetts from 1975 to 1979 and from 1983 to 1991. He is the longest-serving Governor in Massachusetts history. He was the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States in 1988 and is a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Northeastern University.
He has been a tireless supporter of public transportation, and served as a member of the Amtrak Board from 1998 to 2003.
"I'm proud of the fact that I ride a public transportation system that nine years ago shut down in the middle of the Christmas season and today is well on its way to becoming one of the best in the nation - and I hope you are, too."
