Investments in transportation infrastructure are key to the success of the MAPC region and the whole Commonwealth.
A safe, efficient, and reliable transportation network connects residents to employment, housing, education, and healthcare while supporting regional mobility, environmental sustainability, and equitable access to opportunity.
We are incredibly grateful to the Massachusetts Legislature and the Healey-Driscoll Administration for the continued investments in the transportation system, as demonstrated through the recent passing of the Chapter 90 funding and the FY26 Supplemental Budget that includes large investments in transportation using Fair Share funding.
In particular, we want to highlight the end of the TNC fee sunset which means that cities and towns will continue to receive 50% of revenue raised from the small fee on uber and lyft rides that begin in their municipalities. Across our region, municipalities are using this funding for critical transportation programs and infrastructure and we thank the legislature for ensuring that this flexible funding source continues.
