Transportation Funding Initiatives

If there is one thing that’s abundantly clear, it is that we do not have sufficient funding sources to support a transportation system that serves all the residents of the Commonwealth.

Despite the overwhelming performance of the Millionaire’s Tax, we are still facing an MBTA that is strapped on capital dollars and Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) that are in need of additional service, frequency and connectivity. Likewise, it is unclear what a vision for Massachusetts transportation looks like as holistic planning is stymied by erratic funding flows that prevent us from implementing a long-term actionable transportation plan statewide.

With the projected tapering of Fair Share surplus in the next couple of years, the growing transportation needs of our state, and the undeniable need to build a resilient and sustainable climate future, it behooves us to look at funding options that are both equitable and reliable.

T4MA seeks not only to hold conversations no matter whether they are difficult or uncomfortable, but also seeks to chart a clear path forward that everyone can be a part of and can get behind.

Below are some of our coalition's most recent efforts:
