RL Controls, LLC

RL Controls, LLC (RLC) is a local firm based in Woburn, MA, just ten miles north of Boston. Principle/Owner Lena Walsh explained that the company was founded 28 years ago doing work that mostly consisted of running down and repairing defective signaling equipment. Since those early days, RLC has grown their field repair services to also include installation. That growth has required a diverse engineering team and supporting infrastructure, which RLC is proud to put to work on the GLX.

The firm is a certified Woman-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in Massachusetts. RLC is also certified for the design, integration, installation, service and support of vital and non-vital electronic and communications systems for mass transit vehicles and the infrastructure required to support them.

Lena and her team enjoy doing work that has an impact on any community, but are especially excited to work on a project like this right in their backyard. "We live here, we work here and we raise our families here," Lena told us. "We are very connected to the work that is done here and we take it very seriously."
