MassDOT Working to "Deserve the Conversation" on Transportation Finance

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to our board meeting yesterday morning. This was our first meeting in the new conference center at Nutter, McClennen and Fish, and the views of the Seaport were spectacular. Thanks to Mike Mooney and his staff for hosting. 

 

Transportation finance was the topic of the day. Secretary of Transportation Rich Davey made his first appearance before the ABC board to talk about what MassDOT is doing to "deserve the conversation" on paying for transportation. ABC Transportation Finance and Policy chair Doug McGarrah gave an update on our efforts in this area and introduced Astrid Glynn, who briefed the board on the "Maxed Out" report published last month, and the latest developments on federal transportation policy. Her presentation is available here.  

 

ABC continues to advocate for transportation finance reform through a portfolio of committee work, white papers, strategic alliances, and events. Learn more about ABC's work in this area on our website.
