Massachusetts Governor Seeks OK for $18B Transportation Bond Bill The Baker-Polito administration filed a transportation bond bill on July 25 seeking $18 billion in additional capital authorization to invest in building and modernizing a transportation system that meets the needs of residents, businesses and cities and towns statewide. The authorization would be used to fund existing programs as well as several new initiatives designed to lessen impacts from roadway congestion and ensure reliable travel throughout the Commonwealth. Titled An Act Authorizing and Accelerating Transportation Investment, the proposal includes a series of initiatives from the administration to combat congestion on the Commonwealth’s roadways including establishing a tax credit to encourage telecommuting and remote working, expanding the use of designated bus lanes and transit signal priority, as well as creating a program designed to reduce bottlenecks on local roadways. see BILL page 16

The bill would mean $5.695 billion for MBTA improvements, including $595 million for the Green Line Extension project.
