Massachusetts RMV to Join MyMassGov

BOSTON — The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) announced that beginning Monday, May 18, 2026, customers will access the myRMV Online Service Center using a MyMassGov account, creating a single, secure login for state services.

The update replaces the current myRMV login for individuals accounts, while business accounts will continue to use their existing credentials.

Starting May 18, customers who already have a MyMassGov account can use those credentials to log in and complete more than 50 RMV online transactions. Customers who do not yet have an account will be guided through a quick registration process that includes verifying an email address and setting up multi factor authentication, such as a one-time code sent by text or phone call. For most users, the process takes only a few minutes.

MyMassGov is the state's secure online platform that allows residents and businesses to access multiple state services with one login instead of managing separate accounts. More than 3.3 million users already rely on MyMassGov to access programs including Paid Family and Medical Leave, Unemployment Insurance, MassFishHunt and SNAP benefits.

"Streamlining RMV services under one website, MyMassGov is another important step towards making it simplistic yet secure for the public we serve. I thank the Healey-Driscoll Administration and Secretary Jason Snyder for their leadership to modernize digital transportation services in the Commonwealth," said Interim Transportation Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phil Eng. "This platform enhances access, improves usability, and strengthens security for our customers. As more agencies statewide adopt MyMassGov, it will be easier for people to connect with a wide range of services. MyMassGov helps us deliver the high?quality, convenient digital?first experience that residents expect and deserve."

Customers can continue to visit Mass.gov/RMV as they do today and will be directed to log in through MyMassGov starting May 18. Services that do not require a login, such as scheduling a Service Center appointment, will not change.

Pittsfield Celebrates Arbor Day at Taconic

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Generations of Taconic students will pass the tree planted on Arbor Day 2026 as they enter school. 

Pittsfield's decades-long annual celebration was held at a city school for the first time. Different vocational trades at Taconic High School worked together to plant the Amelanchier, or flowering serviceberry, mark it with a plaque, record the ceremony, create artwork for the program's cover, and feed guests. 

Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Manager James McGrath said the students' participation reflects the spirit of Arbor Day perfectly: learning by doing, serving the community, and helping Pittsfield grow greener for generations to come.

"It's not unknown that trees help shade our homes, help clean our air and water, they support wildlife, and make our neighborhoods and public spaces more beautiful and resilient," he said. 

"And Arbor Day is our chance annually to honor that gift and to remember that when we plant something today, we are investing in the future of our green world."

The holiday was established 154 years ago by J. Sterling Morton and was first observed in Nebraska with the planting of more than a million trees.

CTE environmental science and technology teacher Morgan Lindemayer-Finck detailed the many skilled students who worked on the event: the sign commemorating this Arbor Day was made by the carpentry and advanced manufacturing program, specifically students Ronan MacDonald and Patrick Winn; the multimedia production program recorded the event, and the culinary department provided refreshments. 

The program's cover art was created by students Brigitte Quintana-Tenorio and Austin Sayers. The framed original was presented to Mayor Peter Marchetti.
