Massachusetts has received $102 million in federal funding for transportation infrastructure projects. The funding will be used to improve safety, reliability, and connectivity across the state, according to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Governor Maura Healey praised the successful grant applications that will improve Massachusetts' transportation infrastructure. She said, "Massachusetts continues to bring home major federal dollars to make our roads, bridges, paths and rails more safe, reliable and connected." A major part of the funding, $14.4 million, will go toward Electric Vehicle charging stations at Park and Ride and Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority lots. Cities like Boston, Quincy, and Pittsfield will see improvements in bike paths and public transit. The McGrath Boulevard Project in Somerville will also receive over $43 million to improve connectivity and pedestrian and bike access, as stated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Healey-Driscoll administration has secured over $9 billion in federal funding for Massachusetts' transportation projects, including the $17 million Ashuwillticook Trail and Quincy's Southern Artery project. "We’ve been working hard across our administration to prepare winning applications that will secure federal funding for our communities," said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. These funds are key to improving the state's infrastructure, following major projects like the Cape Cod Bridges replacement. New grants will continue to support transportation improvements, with more details available on the state's website, as reported by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
