The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority no longer exists and has been merged into Mass DOT. The VHF Turnpike maintenance Repeaters apparently are no longer in use by "Mass Pike" maintenance workers anymore, as of January 1, 2013. Some have transitioned to the State trunk system. Some new low band frequencies have been licensed for mobile use, as yet unknown. Mass Pike Trucks Still Plow The Mass Pike and are relabeled with MA DOT Logo, however they retain their old Mass Pike Unit Call Signs, also some Old Mass Pike Trucks are being used off the Mass Pike -- The former mass pike roads will continue to be maintained and plowed by the state.

It appears that these frequencies are no longer in use and the system is off line, there have been no narrow band modifications.
Transmit Sites are confusing. Some are back-up sites. Most are educated guesses.
Most of these repeaters are linked, statewide.
Repeaters can be operated Locally [Different CTCSS] vs Linked
MSP Troop E uses the MSP 800 MHz Trunk for most operations
Emergency Service Vehicles (Truck 500, 600, 700) and Turnpike Maintenance use VHF for a tie to the MSP
MSP Troop E Cruisers use the VHF Repeaters as a secondary to the MSP TRS
E-3 Westfield use the VHF Repeaters as a Primary
