Federal Fiscal Years 2017–202.1 Transportation Improvement Program
The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) five-year transportation capital investment plan, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), is the near-term investment program for the region’s transportation system. Guided by the MPO’s vision, goals, and objectives, the TIP prioritizes investments that preserve the current transportation system in a state of good repair, provide safe transportation for all modes, enhance livability, and improve mobility throughout the region. These investments fund major highway reconstruction, arterial and intersection improvements, maintenance and expansion of the public transit system, bicycle path construction, and improvements for pedestrians.
The Boston Region MPO is a 22-member board with representatives of state agencies, regional organizations, and municipalities; its jurisdiction extends from Boston north to Ipswich, south to Duxbury, and west to Interstate 495. Each year, the MPO conducts a process to decide how to spend federal transportation funds for capital projects. The Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS), which is the staff to the MPO, manages the TIP-development process.
MPO staff coordinate evaluation of project requests, propose programming of current and new projects based on anticipated funding levels, support the MPO in developing a draft document, and facilitate a public review of the draft before the MPO endorses the final document.
The federal fiscal years (FFYs) 2017–2021 TIP consists of transportation investments in the Highway Program and Transit Program. These investments reflect the MPO’s goal of targeting a majority of transportation resources to preserve and modernize the existing roadway and transit system and maintain them in a state of good repair.
This TIP also devotes a significant portion of funding for the targeted expansion of the rapid transit system and new shared-use paths. In addition, a number of the infrastructure investments in this TIP address needs identified in the MPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Charting Progress to 2040, or implement recommendations from past studies and reports that were funded through the MPO’s Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The TIP also supports the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)’s strategic priorities of:
The Transit Program of the TIP provides funding for projects and programs that address the capital needs prioritized by the three transit agencies in the region: the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), the Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA), and the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA). The Transit Program is predominantly dedicated to achieving and maintaining a state of good repair for all assets throughout the transit system.
The Highway Program of the TIP funds the priority transportation projects advanced by MassDOT and the cities and towns within the 101-municipality MPO region. The program is devoted primarily to preserving and modernizing the existing roadway network through resurfacing highways, replacing bridges, and reconstructing arterial roadways.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) allocates the funds programmed in the TIP Transit Program by formula. The three regional transit authorities in the Boston Region MPO area that are recipients of these funds are the MBTA, CATA, and MWRTA. The MBTA, with its extensive transit program and infrastructure, is the recipient of the preponderance of the region’s federal transit funds.
Under the federal transportation legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, funding is allocated by the following categories:
The TIP Highway Program was developed with the assumption that federal funding would range between $615- and-$640 million annually over the next five years. In Massachusetts, federal highway program funding is allocated to several main funding categories.
First, MassDOT allocates federal funding to Grant Anticipation Notes (GANs) payments for the Accelerated Bridge Program. Annual GANs payments range between $59 and $82 million over the five years of this TIP. MassDOT matches the remaining amount of federal funding with an 80 percent (federal) and 20 percent (state) split, resulting in $681 million to $695 million available statewide for programming.
Next, MassDOT allocates funding across the following funding categories:
After these needs have been satisfied, MassDOT allocates the remaining funding among the state’s MPOs for programming. This discretionary funding for MPOs is sub-allocated by formula to determine “Regional Target” amounts. MassDOT develops these targets in consultation with the Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies.
Each MPO may decide how to prioritize their Regional Target funding. Given that the Regional Target funding is a subset of the Highway Program, the MPO typically programs the majority of funding on roadway projects; however, the MPO has recently flexed portions of its highway funding to the Transit Program for transit expansion projects. The TIP Highway Program details both the projects that will receive Regional Target funding from the Boston Region MPO and statewide infrastructure projects within the Boston Region MPO area.
In order to determine which projects to fund through the Regional Target funding process, MPO members collaborate with municipalities, state agencies, members of the public, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders. The MPO’s project-selection process uses evaluation criteria to help identify and prioritize projects that advance the MPO’s goals:
These goals also shape a series of MPO investment programs, which are designed to direct Regional Target funding towards MPO priority areas over the next 25 years:
Projects that the MPO will select to receive Regional Target Funding through the MPO’s TIP Development Process are included in one of these five programs.
The outreach process begins early in the federal fiscal year, when cities and towns designate TIP contacts and begin developing a list of priority projects to be considered for federal funding. Each November, MPO staff ask the staffs of cities and towns in the region to identify their priority projects.
MPO staff compile the project funding requests into a Universe of Projects list for the MPO, which consists of all identified projects being advanced for possible funding. The Universe includes projects that are fully designed and ready to be advertised for construction, those that are undergoing preliminary engineering and design, as well as projects still in the conceptual or planning stage. MPO staff also collect data on each project in the Universe so that the projects can be evaluated.
Once project updates are complete, staff evaluates projects based on how well they address the MPO’s goals.
This year, staff completed evaluations for more than 50 projects. A basic level of design is needed to provide enough information to fully evaluate a potential TIP project. The evaluation results are posted on the MPO’s website, allowing municipal officials and members of the public to view them and provide feedback.
Using the evaluation ratings and information about project-readiness (when a project likely would be fully designed and ready for construction), staff prepare a First-Tier List of Projects. This list cites the projects that both earned the highest ratings, and which could be made ready for advertising within the TIP’s time horizon—the next five federal fiscal years (FFYs).
MPO staff then prepare a recommendation for the TIP based on their First-Tier list, among other factors, such as whether a project was included in the LRTP, equity of investments across the region, and if sufficient funding is available for the proposed projects. The staff recommendation proposes the projects to be funded with the MPO’s Regional Target funding over the next five years.
The staff recommendation is always financially constrained. This year, there was approximately $440 million available for MPO Regional Target projects in FFYs 2017–2021. The MPO discussed the staff recommendation for the discretionary highway target program in June.
The MPO considers the evaluation results, First-Tier List of Projects, and staff recommendation when prioritizing which projects should receive Regional Target funding. In addition to prioritizing the Regional Target funding, the MPO also reviews the Statewide Infrastructure Items and Bridge Programs, as well as the capital programs for the MBTA, CATA, and MWRTA before voting to release a draft TIP for public review.
In June 2016, the MPO voted to release the draft FFYs 2017–2021 TIP for a 30-day public comment period, during which the MPO invited members of the public, regional and local officials, and other stakeholders in the Boston region to review the proposed program. During the public comment period, MPO staff hosted “Office Hours” to discuss the draft document and solicit additional comments on the draft TIP.
After the comment period concluded, the MPO reviewed all municipal and public comments and made changes to the document as appropriate. It then endorsed the TIP and submitted it to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the FTA for approval. MassDOT incorporates the MPO-endorsed TIP into the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The FHWA, FTA and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review the STIP for certification by September 30, the federal fiscal year-end.
The MPO’s Target Program is devoted primarily to modernizing and expanding the transportation network through major infrastructure and Complete Streets investments, as shown in Figure ES-1 (which indicates how the Regional Target funding is distributed across these the MPO’s investment programs).
During FFYs 2017–2021, the Boston Region MPO plans to fund 28 projects and programs with its Regional Target funding:
Collectively, these investments will improve nearly 70 lane miles of substandard pavement and serve 780,000 vehicles daily (including more than 1400 bus trips). These improvements are anticipated to reduce passenger delay by nearly 7,900 hours and add more than 50 miles to the region’s bicycle network.
FIGURE ES-1

These investments will be implemented in 25 cities and towns throughout the MPO region, ranging from high-density, built-out Inner Core communities to Developing Suburbs with large expanses of vacant developable land. Figure ES-3 identifies these 25 municipalities by their Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) community type.

Even after the TIP has been finalized, administrative modifications and amendments often must be introduced because of changes in project status, project cost, or available revenues. This may necessitate reprogramming a project to a later funding year or programming additional funds for a project.
Notices of amendments and administrative modifications are posted on the MPO’s website. If an amendment is necessary, the Regional Transportation Advisory Council is informed, and the MPO notifies affected municipalities and other stakeholders via email. The MPO holds a 30-day public comment period before taking action on an amendment. Administrative modifications are generally minor adjustments that usually do not warrant a public comment period.
Public input is an important aspect of the transportation-planning process. Please visit www.bostonmpo.org for more information about the MPO, to view the full TIP, and to submit your comments. You also may want to sign up for our email news updates by contacting us at publicinformation@ctps.org.

The 3C Process
Decisions about how to spend transportation funds in a metropolitan area are guided by information and ideas from a broad group of people, including elected officials, municipal planners and engineers, transportation advocates, other advocates, and other interested persons. Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are the bodies responsible for providing a forum for this decision-making process. Each metropolitan area in the United States with a population of 50,000 or more has an MPO, which decides how to spend federal transportation funds for capital projects and planning studies.
In order to be eligible for federal funds, metropolitan areas are required to maintain a continuous, comprehensive, and cooperative (3C) transportation-planning process that results in plans and programs consistent with the objectives of the metropolitan area. 1 The 3C transportation-planning process in the Boston region is the responsibility of the Boston Region MPO, which has established the following objectives for the process:
The Boston Region MPO is a 22-member board consisting of state agencies and regional and municipal organizations. Its jurisdiction extends from Boston north to Ipswich, south to Duxbury, and west to Interstate 495. There are 101 cities and towns that make up this area. Those municipalities are divided into eight subregional areas (as shown in Figure 1-1).
As part of its 3C process, the Boston Region MPO annually produces the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). These documents, along with the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), are required for the MPO to be certified as meeting federal requirements, which, in turn, is a prerequisite for receiving federal transportation funds.
This TIP was developed and approved by the permanent and elected MPO voting members. The permanent voting members are:
Municipal MPO members are elected by chief elected officials of the 101 municipalities in the MPO region to represent the entire region. There are seats designated for at-large cities and towns, which may be filled by any city and town in the region, as well as seats for cities and towns within specific subregions. The elected municipal MPO voting members and their respective seats are:
Figure 1-1: Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) Subregional Groups
In addition, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) participate in the MPO as advisory (nonvoting) members. Figure 1-2 is an organization chart of MPO membership and of the MPO’s staff, the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS).
More details about the MPO’s members are cited below. Apart from MassDOT and the City of Boston, which hold three seats and two seats, respectively, each entity holds one seat each.
MassDOT was established under Chapter 25 (“An Act Modernizing the Transportation Systems of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts”) of the Acts of 2009. It includes four Divisions: Highway, Rail and Transit, Aeronautics, and Registry of Motor Vehicles. The MassDOT Board of Directors, comprised of 11 members appointed by the Governor, oversees all four divisions and all MassDOT operations, including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).
MassDOT has three seats on the MPO, including one for the Highway Division.
The MBTAhas the statutory responsibility within its district, under the provisions of Chapter 161A of the Massachusetts General Laws (MGLs), of preparing the engineering and architectural designs for transit development projects, constructing and operating transit development projects, and operating the public transportation system. The MBTA district comprises 175 communities, including all of the 101 cities and towns of the Boston Region MPO area. Starting in April 2015, as a result of an action plan to improve the MBTA, a five-member Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB) was created to oversee the MBTA’s finances and management and to increase accountability over a three-to-five-year period. By statute, the MBTA FMCB consists of five members, one with experience in transportation finance, one with experience in mass transit operations, and three who are also members of the MassDOT Board.
Massport has the statutory responsibility under Chapter 465 of the Acts of 1956, as amended, of planning, constructing, owning, and operating such transportation and related facilities as may be necessary for developing and improving commerce in Boston and the surrounding metropolitan area. Massport owns and operates Boston’s Logan International Airport, Conley Terminal, Cruiseport Boston, Hanscom Field, Worcester Regional Airport, and various maritime/waterfront properties, including parks in East Boston, South Boston, and Charlestown.
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is the regional planning agency for the 101 cities and towns in the MAPC/MPO district. It is composed of the chief executive officer (or their designee) of each city and town in the district, 21 gubernatorial appointees, and 12 ex officio members. It has statutory responsibility for comprehensive regional planning in the district under Chapter 40B of the MGLs. It is the Boston Metropolitan Clearinghouse under Section 204 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966 and Title VI of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968. Its district also has been designated as an economic development district under Title IV of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended. MAPC’s responsibilities for comprehensive planning include technical assistance to communities, transportation planning, and the development of zoning, land use, and demographic and environmental studies.
The City of Boston, six elected cities (currently Beverly, Braintree, Everett, Newton, Somerville, and Woburn), and six elected towns (currently Arlington, Bedford, Framingham, Lexington, Medway, and Norwood) represent the region’s 101 municipalities in the Boston Region MPO. The City of Boston is a permanent MPO member (with two seats). There is one elected municipal seat for each of the eight MAPC subregions, and there are four at-large elected municipalities (two cities and two towns). The elected at-large municipalities serve staggered three-year terms, as do the eight municipalities representing the MAPC subregions.
The Regional Transportation Advisory Council, the MPO’s public advisory group, provides the opportunity for transportation-related organizations, agencies, and municipal representatives to become actively involved in the MPO’s decision-making processes for planning and programming transportation projects in the region. The Advisory Council reviews, comments on, and makes recommendations for certification documents. It also provides information about transportation topics in the region, identifies issues, advocates for ways to address the region’s transportation needs, and generates interest in the work of the MPO among members of the general public.
Two members participate in the Boston Region MPO in an advisory (nonvoting) capacity, reviewing the LRTP, the TIP, and the UPWP to ensure compliance with federal planning and programming requirements:
The FHWA and FTA oversee the highway and transit programs of the US Department of Transportation under the pertinent legislation and the provisions of FAST Act.
Two other entities assist MPO members in carrying out the responsibilities of the MPO’s 3C planning process through policy implementation, technical support, and public participation:
The following section briefly describes the three documents produced by the MPO as part of its federally required 3C process:
The Transportation Improvement Program and Air Quality Conformity Determination (TIP)is a multiyear, intermodal program of transportation improvements that is consistent with the LRTP. It describes and prioritizes transportation projects that are expected to be implemented during a five-year period. The types of projects funded include major highway reconstruction and maintenance, arterial and intersection improvements, public transit expansion and maintenance, bicycle paths and facilities, and improvements for pedestrians.
Figure 1-2: Boston Region MPO Organizational Chart
The TIP contains a financial plan that shows the revenue source or sources, current or proposed, for each project. The TIP serves as the implementation arm of the MPO’s LRTP; the Boston Region MPO updates the TIP annually. An MPO-endorsed TIP is incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program for submission to FHWA, FTA, and the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
FAST Act legislation requires all MPOs to fulfill the 3C process. To meet this requirement, MPOs must perform the following activities:
FAST Act legislation also maintains national goals for federal highway programs, including:
1. Safety: Achieve significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
2. Infrastructure condition: Maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good repair.
3. Congestion reduction: Achieve significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System.
4. System reliability: Improve efficiency of the surface transportation system.
5. Freight movement and economic vitality: Improve the national freight network, strengthen the ability of rural communities to access national and international trade markets, and support regional economic development.
6. Environmental sustainability: Enhance performance of the transportation system while protecting and enriching the natural environment.
7. Reduced project delivery delays: Reduce project costs; promote jobs and the economy; and expedite movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion, eliminating delays in the development and delivery process, lessening regulatory burdens, and improving the work practices of the agencies involved.
In addition, the FAST Act maintains the federal planning factors established in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and adds two new planning factors. In accordance with the legislation, the MPO shall comply with the following factors:
FAST Act continues to emphasize performance-based planning as an integral part of the metropolitan planning process: states are to develop performance goals, guided by the national goals, and then MPOs will work with state departments of transportation (DOTs) to develop MPO performance targets. The TIP will integrate the MPOs’ performance measures and link transportation investment decisions to progress toward achieving performance goals.
Air-quality conformity determinations must be performed for capital improvement projects that receive federal funding and for those that are considered regionally significant, regardless of the funding source. These determinations must show that the MPO’s LRTP and TIP will not cause or contribute to any new air-quality violations, will not increase the frequency or severity of any existing air-quality violations in any area, and will not delay the timely attainment of air-quality standards in any area.
Transportation control measures identified in the Commonwealth’s State Implementation Plan for the attainment of air-quality standards are federally enforceable and must be given first priority when using federal funds. Such projects include parking-freeze programs in Boston and Cambridge, statewide rideshare programs, rapid-transit and commuter-rail extension programs, park-and-ride facilities, residential parking-sticker programs, and operation of high-occupancy-vehicle lanes.
The Boston Region MPO complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the ADA, and other federal and state nondiscrimination statutes and regulations in all of its programs and activities. The MPO does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, English proficiency, income, religious creed, ancestry, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or military service. The major federal requirements are discussed below.
This statute requires that no person be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin under any program or activity provided by an agency receiving federal financial assistance.
Executive Order 13166, dated August 11, 2000, extends Title VI protections to persons who, as a result of national origin, have limited English-language proficiency (LEP). Specifically, it calls for improved access to federally conducted and -assisted programs and activities and requires MPOs to develop and implement a system by which LEP persons can meaningfully participate in the transportation-planning process.
Executive Order 12898, dated February 11, 1994, further expands upon Title VI, requiring each federal agency to achieve environmental justice by identifying and addressing any disproportionately high adverse human health or environmental effects, including interrelated social and economic effects, of its programs, policies, and activities on minority or low-income populations.
On April 15, 1997, the US Department of Transportation issued its Final Order to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations. Among other provisions, this order requires programming and planning activities to:
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires all transportation projects, plans, and programs to be accessible to people with disabilities. At the MPO level, this means that public meetings must be held in accessible buildings and MPO materials must be made available in accessible formats.
This executive order, dated February 26, 2004, calls for the establishment of the Interagency Transportation Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility, under the aegis of the Secretary of Transportation. This executive order reinforces both environmental justice and ADA requirements by charging the Council with developing policies and methods for improving access for people with disabilities, low-income persons, and older adults.
The Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) makes Massachusetts a leader in setting aggressive and enforceable greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and implementing policies and initiatives to achieve these targets. In keeping with this law, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, in consultation with other state agencies and the public, developed the Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020. This implementation plan, released on December 29, 2010, establishes the following targets for overall statewide GHG emissions:
The transportation sector is the single largest contributor of GHGs—accounting for more than one-third—and therefore is a major focus of the Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020. MassDOT’s approach to fulfilling its part of the plan is presented in its GreenDOT Policy Directive, a comprehensive sustainability initiative that sets three principal objectives:
The Commonwealth’s 13 MPOs are integrally involved in helping MassDOT achieve its GreenDOT objectives and supporting the GHG reductions mandated under the GWSA. The MPOs seek to realize these objectives by prioritizing projects that will help accomplish them in the LRTP and TIP. The Boston Region MPO’s TIP project evaluation criteria are used to score projects based on GHG emissions impacts, multimodal Complete Streets accommodations, and their ability to support smart-growth development. Tracking and evaluating GHG emissions by project will enable the MPOs to anticipate GHG impacts of the planned and programmed projects and also to use GHG impacts as a criterion for prioritizing transportation investments.
The MPO considers the degree to which a proposed TIP project would advance the goals and objectives of its LRTP. The MPO also reviews TIP projects within the context of the recommended projects already included in the LRTP.
The MPO aims to implement the findings and recommendations of the UPWP’s past studies and reports in developing the TIP.
The purpose of the Congestion Management Process (CMP) is to monitor and analyze the performance of transportation facilities and services; develop strategies to alleviate congestion; and move these strategies into the implementation stage by providing decision makers in the region with information and recommendations. The CMP monitors roadways and park-and-ride facilities in the MPO region for safety, congestion, and mobility, and identifies “problem” locations. Projects that help address problems identified in the most recent CMP monitoring endeavor were considered for inclusion in this TIP.
In 2009, the MBTA adopted its current PMT. The PMT was developed with extensive public involvement and was approved by the MBTA Advisory Board.
The next PMT, Focus40, is under development. Focus40 is the 25-year strategic vision for MBTA investments. This process will engage customers—as well as elected officials, major employers and business leaders, academic institutions, the advocacy community, and other stakeholders—in developing a financially responsible, long-term investment strategy that positions the MBTA to better serve the region’s present concerns, as well as those of Greater Boston as projected for 2040. Focus40 will be an open and frank conversation about a number of critical issues, including:
The first phase of Focus40 will culminate in the release of the State of the System series of reports, which is intended to provide a clear picture of where the MBTA stands today in terms of asset inventory, condition, and service performance. The second phase of the Focus40 effort is centered on developing a better understanding of the world in which the MBTA will be operating in 2040. Finally, Focus40 will work with the public and stakeholders to develop and evaluate various investment strategies that address both current and future needs.
MetroFuture, which was developed by MAPC and adopted in 2008, is the long-range plan for land use, housing, economic development, and environmental preservation in the Boston region. It includes a vision for the region’s future and a set of strategies for achieving that future, and it was adopted as the future land-use scenario for the MPO’s LRTP, Charting Progress to 2040. MetroFuture’s goals, objectives, and strategies were considered in the development of this TIP.
A statewide initiative designed as a bottom-up approach to transportation planning, youMove Massachusetts (YMM) derived 10 core themes from a broad-based public participation process that articulated the expressed concerns, needs, and aspirations of Massachusetts residents related to their transportation network. Those themes have been considered in the development of this TIP.
MassDOT’s statewide strategic multimodal plan, weMove Massachusetts (WMM), is a product of the transportation reform legislation of 2009 and the YMM civic engagement process. In May 2014, MassDOT released WMM: Planning for Performance, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ 2040 LRTP. WMM identifies high-level policy priorities that were considered in the development of this TIP. WMM also incorporates performance management into investment decision-making to calculate the differences in performance outcomes resulting from different funding levels available to MassDOT. In the future, MassDOT will use this scenario-based tool to update and refine investment priorities. The TIP builds on this data-driven method to prioritize transportation investments.
The Healthy Transportation Compact (HTC) is a major requirement of the Massachusetts landmark transportation reform legislation that took effect on November 1, 2009. It is an interagency initiative that will help ensure that the transportation decisions made by the Commonwealth balance the needs of all transportation users, expand mobility, improve public health, support a cleaner environment, and create stronger communities.
The agencies work together to achieve positive health outcomes by coordinating land use, transportation, and public health policy. HTC membership is made up of the secretary of transportation (co-chair), secretary of health and human services (co-chair), secretary of energy and environmental affairs, administrator of transportation for highways, administrator of transportation for mass transit, and the commissioner of public health (each of whom may select a representative to serve in their stead).
The HTC also promotes improved coordination among the public sector, private sector and advocacy groups, as well as among transportation, land-use, and public health stakeholders. As part of the framework for the HTC, MassDOT established a Healthy Transportation Advisory Group comprised of advocates and leaders in the fields of land use, transportation, and public health policy.
The $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) represents a monumental investment in Massachusetts’ bridges. This program has greatly reduced the number of structurally deficient bridges in the state system while creating thousands of construction jobs.
In this program, MassDOT and the DCR have relied on innovative and accelerated project development and construction techniques. As a result, projects have been completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption to people and commerce.
When finished, the eight-year program, which began in 2008, will have resulted in the replacement or repair of more than 270 bridges in the Commonwealth.
In the fall of 2012, MassDOT announced a statewide mode shift goal: to triple the share of travel modes in Massachusetts that uses bicycling, transit, and walking. The mode shift goal aims to foster improved quality of life by protecting our environment and preserving the capacity of our highway network. In addition, positive public health outcomes will be achieved by providing more healthy transportation options.
On September 9, 2013, MassDOT passed the Healthy Transportation Policy Directive to formalize its commitment to implementing and maintaining transportation networks that serve all mode choices. This directive will ensure that all MassDOT projects are designed and implemented in ways that provide all customers with access to safe and comfortable walking, bicycling, and transit options.
In November 2015, MassDOT released the Separated Bike Lane Planning & Design Guide. This guide represents the next—but not the last—step in MassDOT’s continuing commitment to Complete Streets, sustainable transportation, and to creating more safe and convenient transportation options for Massachusetts’s residents.
This guide may be used by project planners and designers as a resource for considering, evaluating and designing separated bike lanes as part of a Complete Streets approach.
In the development of the LRTP, Charting Progress to 2040 (endorsed in July 2015), the Boston Region MPO updated its vision, goals, and objectives. These updated goals and objectives, listed on the following page, guided this year’s update of the TIP evaluation criteria to better align with future investment decisions.
Investments in the FFYs 2017-2021 TIP will:
Chapter 4 demonstrates in detail how transportation investments over the next five years would advance the MPO’s goals and objectives.

The TIP Process
Thus, each year, the Boston Region MPO conducts a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) development process that prioritizes transportation investments and helps the MPO decide how to spend federal transportation funds for capital projects. The Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) to the Boston Region MPO manages the annual development process for the TIP. MPO staff help evaluate project funding requests, propose programming for new and ongoing projects based on anticipated yearly funding levels, support the MPO by creating a draft TIP document, and facilitate a public review of the draft before the MPO endorses the final document.
The first step in allocating federal transportation funds is the passage by the United States Congress of a multiyear act that establishes a maximum level of federal transportation funding per federal fiscal year. The establishment of this level of funding is referred to as an authorization. The President signed the most recent authorization act, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), into law on December 4, 2015.
Once the authorization level has been established, the United States Department of Transportation allocates funding among the states annually, based on various federal formulas. This allocation is referred to as an apportionment. The annual apportionment rarely represents the actual amount of federal funds that are ultimately committed to a state: this is because of federally imposed limitations on spending in a given fiscal year, referred to as the obligation authority.
In Massachusetts, TIPs are developed based on the estimated obligation authority.
Two of the most important distinctions between apportionment and obligation authority are: 1) apportionment is allocated on a per-program basis, while obligation authority is generally allocated as a lump sum; and 2) unused apportionment carries forward into successive federal fiscal years (FFYs), but unused obligation authority does not. Unused apportionment that is carried forward is referred to as an unobligated balance. Although a state’s unobligated balance can be used to increase the amount of federal aid programmed within a particular funding category in a given FFY, it cannot be used to increase the total amount of the state’s highway apportionment.
Federal regulations require states to “provide MPOs with estimates of Federal and State funds which the MPOs shall utilize in developing financial plans” for TIPs. The FFYs 2017–21 TIP was developed with the assumption that the federal funding available would range from $615 million to $640 million annually over the next five years. In Massachusetts, federal highway program funding is allocated to several major funding categories.
First, MassDOT allocates federal funding to repay Grant Anticipation Notes (GANs), used to fund the Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP). (GANS are bonds issued by the state that are secured by anticipated future federal highway funds.) Annual GANs payments range between $59- and $82 million over the five years of this TIP. MassDOT matches the remaining amount of federal funding with an 80 percent (federal) and 20 percent (state) split, resulting in $681 million to $695 million available statewide for programming.
Next, MassDOT allocates the remaining federal funding into the following categories:
In FFY 2017, MassDOT will end funding for the Regional Major Infrastructure Program after reconstruction of the I-91 Viaduct in Springfield has been completed. These funds will be reallocated to the Regional Target program for prioritization by MPOs across the state.
The Regional Targets are discretionary funding for MPOs, suballocated by formula. MassDOT develops these regional targets in consultation with the Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies. Each MPO in the state can decide how to prioritize their Regional Target funding. Given that the Regional Target funding is a subset of the Highway Program, the MPO typically programs the majority of funding on roadway projects, however the MPO has recently flexed portions of its “highway” funding to the Transit Program for transit expansion projects.During the next five years, the Boston Region MPO’s total Regional Target Program funding will be approximately $464 million, an average of $92 million per year. To decide how to spend its Regional Target funding, the Boston Region MPO engages its 101 cities and towns in an annual development process.
Federal aid for public transit authorities is allocated by formula to urbanized areas (UZAs). MassDOT is the recipient of this federal aid in the Boston UZA. In UZAs with populations greater than 200,000, such as the Boston UZA, the distribution formula factors in passenger-miles travelled, population density, and other factors associated with each transit provider. The three regional transit authorities (RTAs) in the Boston Region MPO area are the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA), and Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA). The MBTA, with its extensive transit program and infrastructure, is the recipient of the preponderance of federal transit funds in the region.
Metropolitan areas require support from many different federal-aid transportation programs, and each area has unique requirements and thus unique program characteristics. Non-federal aid (state funds) for statewide infrastructure items, the bridge program, and regional targets is derived from various sources, including the Commonwealth’s Transportation Bond Bill. Federal programs that fund projects in the FFYs 2017–21 TIP under the FAST Act are listed in the following two tables.

The MPO’s project selection process for highway discretionary (“regional target”) funding uses evaluation criteria to help identify and prioritize projects that advance the MPO’s goals. The criteria are based on the MPO’s goals and objectives, which were adopted for its current Long-Range Transportation Plan, Charting Progress to 2040.
All projects are required to show consistency with the Long-Range Transportation Plan and other statewide and regional plans.
The MPO staff evaluates each project that is considered for inclusion in the TIP based on the specific criteria that were developed by the MPO. Other criteria include project readiness for construction and municipal support for the project. Background information about the TIP project evaluation process is presented in Appendix B.
The outreach process begins early in the federal fiscal year, when cities and towns designate TIP contacts and begin developing a list of priority projects to be considered for federal funding. Each November, MPO staff asks the staff of cities and towns in the region to identify their priority projects for consideration for federal funding. The MPO also solicits input from interested parties and members of the general public.
New projects must be initiated by the MassDOT Highway Division before they can be considered for programming in the TIP. MassDOT details the project initiation process and posts relevant documents on its Project Review Committee’s webpage, <www.massdot.state.ma.us/highway/Departments/ProjectManagement/ProjectReviewCommittee.aspx>. Municipal TIP Contacts and the MPO staff coordinate to update each project´s Project Funding Application Form through the MPO´s Interactive TIP Database, <www.bostonmpo.org/apps/tip11/tip_query.html>, which summarizes information about each project's background, infrastructure condition and needs, development status, and ability to help the region attain the MPO’s goals and objectives. More information on the Project Funding Application Forms is presented in Appendix B.
MPO staff compiles the project funding requests into a Universe of Projects list for the MPO, which consists of all identified projects being advanced for possible funding. The Universe includes projects that are fully designed and ready to be advertised for construction, those that are undergoing preliminary engineering and design, and also projects still in the conceptual planning stage.
The MPO staff also monitors the anticipated greenhouse gas (GHG) emission impacts of each planned and programmed project in order to consider these impacts when prioritizing transportation investments. For more information on GHG emission monitoring and evaluation, see Appendix C.
The MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to logically and transparently evaluate and select projects for programming in the TIP that advance the transportation future envisioned by the MPO. This process favors projects that:
The project evaluation criteria consist of 28 questions that relate to six goals. A figure that illustrates the TIP evaluation criteria (on the following page) provides an overview of the goals, criteria, and their point values.
In order for MPO staff to conduct a complete project evaluation, the project must have a Functional Design Report. See MassDOT’s Project Development and Design Guide for information about what is included in a Functional Design Report. This report is available at www.massdot.state.ma.us/highway/DoingBusinessWithUs/ManualsPublicationsForms/ProjectDevelopmentDesignGuide.aspx.
The summary of evaluation results for projects being considered for the federal fiscal years (FFYs) 2017–21 TIP is available in Table A-1, Appendix A. The table contains the total project rating for each project. For more details about the evaluation criteria used to score projects, see Appendix B.
Using the evaluation ratings and information gathered about project readiness (when a project likely would be fully designed and ready for construction), staff prepares a First-Tier List of Projects. This list cites the projects that both earned the highest ratings in the MPO’s evaluation process, and which could be made ready for advertising within the TIP’s time horizon—the next five federal fiscal years.

The graphic shows the 28 evaluation criteria across six goals that the MPO uses to score TIP projects.
Figure 2-1: TIP Evaluation Criteria
The process of selecting transit, bridge, and statewide infrastructure projects to be programmed in the TIP draws primarily from MassDOT’s Capital Investment Plan (CIP), which is a fully integrated capital plan produced by all MassDOT divisions and the MBTA.
Projects in the CIP are selected from MassDOT’s Universe of Projects. They are prioritized based on a process recommended by the independent Project Selection Advisory Council and on data from asset management systems maintained by MassDOT agencies.
Projects that receive the highest priority are those that meet MassDOT’s goals for maintaining and improving the overall condition and reliability of the system; modernizing the system to make it safer and more accessible and to accommodate growth; and expanding and diversifying transportation options for communities. The following criteria guide project selection:
The transit element of the TIP also includes the federal-aid programs of the other two transit authorities in the region, CATA and MWRTA. CATA and MWRTA coordinate with the MassDOT Rail and Transit Division to develop their capital programs.
The MPO considers the evaluation results, first-tier list of projects, and staff recommendation in prioritizing projects for regional target funding. The body also considers public input, regional importance, and other factors in developing the draft TIP. In addition to prioritizing the regional target funding, the MPO reviews statewide infrastructure items, the bridge program, and the capital programs for the MBTA, CATA, and MWRTA before voting to release a draft TIP for public review.
The MPO votes to release the draft document for a 30-day public review and comment period and invites members of the public, regional and local officials, and other stakeholders in the Boston region to review the proposed program. MPO staff hosted "Office Hours" during the public comment period to solicit comments on the draft document; summaries of these are listed in Appendix F.
After the comment period ends, the MPO reviews all municipal and public comments and makes changes to the document as appropriate. It then endorses the TIP and submits it to FHWA and FTA for approval. MassDOT incorporates the MPO-endorsed TIP into the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The FHWA, FTA and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review the STIP for certification by September 30, the federal fiscal year-end.
The TIP is a dynamic program that is amended and adjusted throughout the year. Administrative modifications and amendments often must be introduced because of changes in project status, project cost, or available revenues.
Consistent with federal guidelines, if a project is valued at $5 million or less, the threshold for defining an amendment is a change of $500,000 or more. The threshold for projects valued at greater than $5 million is 10 percent or more of the project value. Changes that are less than these thresholds may be considered in the form of administrative modifications. The MPO acts on administrative modifications, and although a public review period is not required, one may be provided at the MPO’s discretion.
Affected municipalities and constituencies and the public are notified of pending amendments at the start of an amendment’s 30-day public review period. The proposed amendments are posted on the MPO’s website, www.bostonmpo.org. Public notices are distributed to the media via press releases, and through MPOinfo, the MPO’s email contact list, which members of the public may join by signing up on the MPO’s website <http://www.ctps.org/stay connected>. These notices provide a summary of the amendment’s contents, dates of the 30-day public review period, how to submit a comment to the MPO, and the date, time and location that the MPO will take a vote on that amendment. Also during the public review period, the MPO staff notifies and briefs the Regional Transportation Advisory Council on the amendment and provides comments from the Council to the MPO. Municipal representatives and members of the public are also invited to submit written or oral testimony at the MPO meetings at which amendments are discussed or voted upon.
The MPO’s website is the best place to find current information about the TIP.
All changes to the draft TIP that have been approved by the MPO, and changes to the endorsed TIP, such as amendments and modifications, that have been approved by the MPO, are available on the TIP webpage on the MPO’s website, http://www.bostonmpo.org/tip. Comments or questions about the draft materials may be submitted directly through the website, voiced at MPO meetings, or submitted via US mail.

The Municipal Limitation referenced in this Regulation is applicable only to projects where the Municipality is the Awarding Authority. For all projects contained in the TIP, the Commonwealth is the Awarding Authority. Therefore, all projects must be considered and implemented in accordance with 701 CMR 7.00, and the Road Flagger and Police Detail Guidelines.

Using Performance Measures to Track and Demonstrate Progress
Performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) refers to transportation agencies’ application of performance management in their planning and programming to achieve desired outcomes for the multimodal transportation system. For MPOs, this embraces a range of activities and products together with other agencies, stakeholders, and the public as part of the 3C Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process. This includes developing:
The goal of PBPP is to ensure that transportation investment decisions—both long-term planning and short-term programming—are based on their ability to meet established goals.
The cornerstone of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century’s (MAP-21) highway program transformation is this movement to performance- and outcome-based results. The current transportation authorization legislation, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, continues the performance-based planning and programming provisions established under MAP-21.
States will invest resources in projects to achieve individual state targets that collectively will make progress toward national goals, as detailed in the FAST Act:
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with states, MPOs, and other stakeholders, has: (1) established safety performance measures to carry out the Highway Safety Improvement Program and assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads; (2) proposed performance measures for Interstate and NHS pavement and bridge conditions, and general performance of the Interstate and NHS; and (3) proposed performance measures to assess traffic congestion and on-road mobile-source emissions.
States and MPOs will set performance targets to support these measures; and state and metropolitan plans will describe how program and project selection would help to achieve the targets.

The Boston Region MPO’s transition to performance-based planning is underway in anticipation of FAST Act performance-measure requirements. The MPO has:
MPO goals provide the foundation for the TIP criteria used in the project selection process, as described in Chapter 2. These criteria describe the ways that individual projects are expected to help the MPO advance its various goals. Over time, the contributions made by TIP projects are expected to generate changes in the transportation system’s performance.
In Charting Progress to 2040, the MPO’s most recent LRTP, the MPO strengthened the link between its spending and improving transportation performance by establishing a series of investment programs. These programs each support multiple MPO goals, and include:
As part of developing the LRTP, the MPO allocated a large portion of its discretionary funds to these investment programs over the LRTP’s 25-year life span. In turn, these fund TIP projects that meet the investment program’s criteria. Detail about these programs and their relationship to MPO goals is shown in Figure 4-1 on the following page. Table 4-2, below, and Figure 4-2 show how FFYs 2017−2021 regional target funding is distributed across MPO investment programs.

The following sections of this chapter track performance measures and demonstrate how transportation investments for the next five years would advance the MPO’s goals and objectives.
Safety for all transportation modes continues to be a top priority for the MPO. MPO goals commit to investing in projects and programs that reduce the severity of crashes for all modes.
The MPO tracks traffic fatalities and serious injuries in the Boston region to examine past trends, identify regional safety issues, and set future targets for preferred performance. Tracking these measures helps to gauge the effectiveness of MPO transportation investments in reducing fatalities and serious injuries.
Overall, safety is improving in the region. Between 2008 and 2013, traffic fatalities (based on a rolling five-year average) decreased from 141 fatalities in 2008 to 123 in 2013. Figure 4-3 shows the change in traffic fatalities by mode during this period and indicates that the 13 percent decline in fatalities included fewer automobile, pedestrian, and bicycle fatalities. Similarly, total traffic crashes and injuries declined by 26 percent and 27 percent, respectively between 2008 and 2013.
FIGURE 4-3: Traffic Fatalities in the Boston Region by Mode, 2008−2013
Sources: MassDOT, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Reporting System, and the MassDOT Crash Data System.
Despite these overall gains, crashes and injuries for pedestrians and bicyclists rose during this same period, as shown in Figure 4-4. Between 2008 and 2013, roughly two-thirds of pedestrian and bicycle crashes resulted in an injury. For pedestrians, the number of crashes increased by 17 percent and injuries grew by 33 percent. For bicycles, the number of crashes increased by 25 percent and injuries also jumped by 33 percent.
In addition to pedestrian and bicycle safety issues, there are still a number of high-crash locations throughout the Boston Region MPO area, including nearly 80 of the Top-200 Crash Locations statewide.
FIGURE 4-4: Traffic Injuries in the Boston Region by Mode, 2008−2013
Sources: MassDOT, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Reporting System, and the MassDOT Crash Data System.
The rate of traffic fatalities and injuries also has declined steadily between 2008 and 2013. Figure 4-5 shows the change in the traffic fatality rate and traffic injury rate (based on 100 million vehicle-miles traveled (VMT)) in the Boston region between 2008 and 2013. During this period, the traffic fatality rate steadily declined by 13 percent from 0.55 fatalities per 100 million VMT to 0.47 fatalities per 100 million VMT. The traffic injury rate dropped by 27 percent from 90 injuries per 100 million VMT to 63 injuries per 100 million VMT between 2008 and 2013.
FIGURE 4-5: Total Traffic Injury Rate and Traffic Fatality Rate (per 100 million VMT) in the Boston Region, 2008–13
In prioritizing its capital investments, the MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to support the goal of reducing crash severity for all modes. These criteria assess severity of the safety need by capturing the weighted index of crashes in the project area; and assess the safety impact of proposed projects by considering the proposed safety countermeasures.
Within the TIP’s MPO Target Program, 16 proposed investments will improve safety at 35 high-crash locations to reduce crash severity for all modes.
This intersection investment will provide safety improvements for automobiles, trucks, bicyclists, and pedestrians by implementing safety countermeasures at four high-crash locations: Derby Street, Whiting Street (Route 53) and Gardner Street in Hingham, Cabot Street at Dodge Street and Cabot Street at Rantoul Street in Beverly, and Route 1 at University Avenue in Norwood.
The Route 128 Add-a-Lane project will widen 3.25 miles of I-95 in Needham and Wellesley to install an additional 12-foot travel lane and 10-foot shoulder in each direction to address serious safety issues. The addition of a fourth full-time travel lane will eliminate use of the breakdown lane during peak periods; and adding collector roads between Highland Avenue and Kendrick Streets will provide safer weaving movements between the interchanges.
The FFYs 2017-21 TIP MPO Target Program proposes 15 Complete Streets projects that would implement safety improvements at 12 high-crash locations along corridors across the region. These corridor investments will provide safety improvements for automobiles, trucks, bicyclists, and pedestrians. In addition, improvements at these 15 corridors would provide safe and continuous accommodations for non-motorized users by adding 33 miles of new bicycle facilities and eight miles of new sidewalk.
For example, reconstruction of Route 85 (Maple St.) in Marlborough will implement safety countermeasures at two high-crash locations along the 1.1-mile corridor, as well as add new bicycle lanes and improve existing sidewalks. In addition, reconstruction of Ferry St. in Everett will improve safe access for pedestrians to businesses, schools, and bus stops along the corridor by providing continuous sidewalks and improved crossings.
System preservation is a priority for the MPO because the region’s transportation infrastructure is aging. The demands placed on highway and transit facilities have been taxing to the point that routine maintenance is insufficient to keep up with the need. As a result, there is a significant backlog of maintenance and state-of-good repair work to be done on the highway and transit systems, including bridges, roadway pavement, transit rolling stock, and traffic- and transit-control equipment.
MassDOT’s program monitors approximately 4,150 lane miles of interstate, arterial, and access-controlled arterial roadways in the Boston Region MPO area. It has been the policy of the MPO not to fund resurfacing-only projects in the TIP. However, the MPO does make funding decisions for roadway reconstruction projects that include resurfacing, usually full-depth reconstruction, in addition to other design elements.
Figure 4-6 displays the number of lane miles in good or better condition by roadway classification between 2009 and 2013 in the Boston Region MPO area. The figure indicates that the lane miles of interstates, access-controlled arterials, and arterials in good or better condition on MassDOT-maintained roadways has remained constant between 2009 and 2013.
FIGURE 4-6: Lane Miles of Pavement in Good or Better Condition in the Boston Region MPO by Roadway Classification
Source: MassDOT Pavement Management Program.
Approximately 70 percent of roadway lane miles are in good condition, 25 percent are in fair condition, and five percent are in poor condition—which meets MassDOT’s performance measure of at least 65 percent of the pavement in good condition. However, MassDOT-maintained arterial roadways continue to account for a disproportionate share of substandard roadway lane miles. Arterials accounted for 62 percent of the monitored roadways, but nearly 90 percent of the roadways that are in substandard condition (see Figure 4-7).
FIGURE 4-7: Pavement Condition in the Boston Region MPO by Roadway Classification
Source: MassDOT Pavement Management Program.
MassDOT also monitors the condition of its bridges across the state. There are 2,866 bridges located within the Boston Region MPO area, of which some are in substandard condition because they have been deemed by MassDOT bridge inspectors as structurally deficient, functionally obsolete, or posted.
Figure 4-8 displays the number of substandard bridges in the Boston Region MPO by condition between 2007 and 2014. As seen in the figure, the percentage of structurally deficient bridges decreased slightly from six to five percent, functionally obsolete bridges remained constant at 19 percent, and posted bridges declined from seven to four percent.

In prioritizing its capital investments, the MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to assess how well each project improves pavement and signal condition to advance the MPO’s goal of maintaining a state of good repair.
Virtually all of the TIP’s MPO Target Program investments advance the MPO’s system preservation goal to maintain the transportation system by improving pavement condition, traffic signal equipment, or sidewalk infrastructure, or by prioritizing projects that improve emergency response or ability to respond to extreme conditions. In addition, the Target Program investments contribute modestly to bridge preservation by addressing 11 substandard bridges. Yet, the MassDOT Bridge Program remains the primary funding source for replacement or rehabilitation of substandard bridges.
The FFYs 2017-2021 TIP’s MPO Target Program investments propose to improve 68 miles of substandard pavement traveled daily by nearly 670,000 vehicles, and 45 miles of substandard sidewalk’ and replace more than 90 traffic signals, and 11 substandard bridges (10 functionally obsolete and one structurally deficient) traveled daily by approximately 340,000 vehicles. In addition, there are 15 projects that will improve emergency response or ability to respond to extreme conditions, thus aiming to make significant progress toward maintaining the region’s transportation system.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP’s MPO Target Program proposes to improve substandard pavement at three intersections and modernize signal equipment at four intersections. These investments will also improve emergency response by updating intersections along an evacuation route and in close proximity to emergency support locations.
The FFYs 2017-2021 TIP Target Program proposes to resurface or reconstruct more than 35 miles of substandard pavement, replace more than 50 traffic signals, repair 25 miles of sidewalk infrastructure, and rehabilitate one substandard bridge on an arterial roadway. In addition, there are eight projects that will improve emergency response or ability to respond to extreme conditions, thus aiming to make significant progress toward maintaining the region’s transportation system.
The reconstruction of Ferry Street in Everett will resurface more than three miles of substandard pavement while bringing six traffic signals, substandard sidewalks, street lighting, signs, and pavement markings into a state of good repair.
Reconstruction of Route 1A in Walpole will resurface nearly five miles of substandard pavement, repair five miles of substandard sidewalk, signalize four intersections, and improve one substandard bridge.
The FFYs 2017-2021 TIP’s MPO Target Program proposes to resurface or reconstruct 30 miles of substandard pavement, approximately 20 miles of sidewalk infrastructure, and 10 substandard bridges. In addition, there are six projects that will improve emergency response or ability to respond to extreme conditions, thus aiming to make significant progress toward maintaining the region’s transportation system.
Reconstruction of Highland Avenue and Needham Street in Newton and Needham will resurface nine miles of substandard pavement, six miles of sidewalk infrastructure, and one substandard bridge, while bringing traffic signals, street lighting, signs, and pavement markings into a state of good repair.
The Route 128 Add-a-Lane project will replace one structurally deficient and three functionally obsolete bridges as part of widening I-95 in Needham and Wellesley.
Through its capacity management and mobility goal and objectives, the MPO seeks to maximize the region’s existing transportation system so that both people and goods can move reliably and connect to key destinations. The Boston region is mature, which creates challenges to making major infrastructure changes to its transportation system.
In order to determine how well the region’s roadways are performing, the MPO applies performance measures that gauge the duration, extent, intensity, and reliability of congestion. MPO staff analyzed congestion in the region using the CMP Express Highway and Arterial Performance Dashboards to establish a baseline for future comparison. MPO staff established congestion thresholds based on travel time index (TTI) which compares near-worst-case travel time to free-flow travel time to determine the contingency time needed to ensure on-time arrival 95 percent of the time. For example, a value of 2.5 means that to arrive on time 95 percent of the time, a traveler should budget an additional 45 minutes for a trip that takes 30 minutes during free-flow conditions. MPO staff established the following congestion thresholds based on TTI:
Figure 4-9 displays the percentage of lane miles of congestion based on TTI on the CMP expressway network. In the Boston Region MPO area, 22 percent of all expressway lane miles in the AM peak period and 20 percent of all expressway lane miles in PM peak period experience moderate-to-severe congestion.
FIGURE 4-9: Lane Miles of Congestion in the Boston Region MPO: CMP Monitored Expressways
FIGURE 4-10: Lane Miles of Congestion in the Boston Region MPO: CMP-Monitored Arterials
The measure of lane miles of congestion was significantly less for the arterial network. Figure 4-10 displays the percentage of lane miles of congestion as measured by travel time index on the CMP arterial network. For the arterial network, only seven percent of arterials in the AM peak period and four percent of arterials in the PM peak period experience moderate-to-severe congestion.
Moving forward, the MPO will continue to monitor congestion data of the roadway network to track performance of the system. This annual analysis will depend on routinely updated data sources, which may require the purchase of INRIX data or other comparable data.
In prioritizing its capital investments, the MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to assess how well each project expands transportation options to advance the MPO’s goal of managing capacity and improving mobility.
The MPO seeks to manage capacity on its transportation network and improve mobility for its users by extending transit service to support non-single-occupancy-vehicle (SOV) travel options, adding roadway capacity at select MPO-identified bottleneck locations, and implementing traffic and operational improvements along congested corridors.
The FFYs 2017-2021 TIP Target Program investments propose to add 53 miles of bicycle lanes, 13 miles of new sidewalk, and improve access to transit at 21 locations. In addition, these investments would improve more than 90 traffic signals, resulting in nearly 7,900 hours of reduced daily vehicle delay.
The FFYs 2017-2021 TIP Target Program proposes to add 33 miles of bicycle lanes (including almost a mile of separated bicycle lanes), eight miles of new sidewalk infrastructure; and improve access to transit along 14 corridors. These investments also would improve traffic flow along corridors that serve more than 800 bus trips on a typical weekday, resulting in 15 fewer hours of daily transit vehicle delay.
For example, reconstruction of Route 126 (Pond Street) in Ashland will transform the corridor by adding sidewalks and bicycle lanes where no facilities currently exist. These improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians will provide the necessary facilities to support existing MWRTA bus services in the corridor. In addition, the Gateway East project in Brookline will provide safe access for bicyclists by implementing bicycle lanes that physically separate the facility from the travel lane to reduce conflicts between motorists and bicyclists.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program proposes to add 16 miles of bicycle lanes, nearly four miles of sidewalk infrastructure, and improve access to transit along five corridors. These investments also would improve corridors that serve nearly 600 bus trips on a typical weekday.
Middlesex Turnpike Improvements (Phase III) in Bedford, Billerica, and Burlington will continue improvements to the corridor by adding three miles of sidewalks and bicycle lanes where no facilities currently exist. These improvements will support LRTA bus service along the Middlesex Turnpike.
Reconstruction of Route 18 (Main Street) in Weymouth will improve one moderate MPO-identified arterial bottleneck location by widening a four-mile section of the corridor from two to four lanes. In addition, the project will expand transportation options by adding eight miles of bicycle lanes.
The Route 128 Add-a-Lane project will improve one severe MPO-identified express highway bottleneck location by widening 3.25 miles of I-95 in Needham and Wellesley.
Historically, some minority and economically disadvantaged areas have endured the negative effects of the transportation system disproportionally—for example, via placement of infrastructure from which they do not benefit; poor access to, or maintenance of, necessary services; and by not being included in the transportation-planning process. In addition, youth, the elderly, and people with disabilities of various kinds face special challenges when using the transportation system.
To advance the MPO’s Transportation Equity (TE) goal of providing comparable transportation access and service quality among communities regardless of income level or minority status, the MPO has broadened its equity analysis beyond low-income and minority populations to also include: Limited-English Proficiency individuals (persons who live in households in which no one older than 14 speaks English “very well”), elderly (persons 75 or more years old), zero-vehicle households, and persons with disabilities.
The MPO considers the six factors to designate degrees of potential disadvantage. For example, an area with five or six indicators above the threshold percentage would be considered as having high potential for disadvantage, while an area with only one indicator above the threshold percentage would be considered as having low potential for disadvantage.
Table 4-3 provides a breakdown of the indicators considered by the MPO in the region, and their percentage of the region’s population.

The MPO’s transportation investments advance transportation equity by prioritizing projects that serve Title VI/non-discrimination populations, which include minority, low-income, limited-English proficiency, elderly, and zero-vehicle household populations, as well as persons with disabilities. In other words, the MPO prioritizes investments in areas that have been indicated as having a higher potential for disadvantage.
Table 4-4 provides a summary comparison of the Title VI/non-discrimination population served to total population served by MPO investments. The table indicates that the percentage served is higher than the threshold percentage for each indicator. These results reflect the MPO’s priority for investments in areas that have been identified as having a higher potential for disadvantage.

The Boston Region MPO agrees that greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) contribute to climate change. If climate trends continue as projected, the conditions in the Boston region will include a rise in sea level coupled with storm-induced flooding, and warmer temperatures that would affect the region’s infrastructure, economy, human health, and natural resources. Massachusetts is responding to this challenge by taking action to reduce the GHGs produced by the state, including those generated by the transportation sector. To that end, Massachusetts passed its Global Warming Solutions Act, which requires reductions of GHGs by 2020, and further reductions by 2050, relative to 1990 baseline conditions.
In prioritizing its capital investments, the MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to assess the projected transportation-related emissions impact of each project to advance the MPO’s goal of promoting clean air and clean communities.
The MPO’s transportation investments advance clean air/clean communities by prioritizing projects that reduce GHGs and other transportation-related emissions as well as those that address environmental impacts.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program investments are estimated to reduce more than 8,700 annual tons of CO2 and more than 18,000 annual kilograms of VOC, NOx, and CO because of traffic flow improvements and increased bicycle and pedestrian travel.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program proposes to reduce more than 5,600 annual tons of CO2 and more than 12,500 annual kilograms of VOC, NOx, and CO because of traffic flow improvements and increased bicycle and pedestrian travel.
Reconstruction of Boylston Street in Boston will provide significant reductions in vehicle delay through improvements at five intersections, and encourage increased bicycle and pedestrian trips through safer pedestrian crossings and new bicycle lanes.
Reconstruction of Derby Street in Hingham will provide significant reductions in vehicle delay through new signalization at the Route 3 ramps. The project will also encourage increased bicycle and pedestrian trips via new sidewalk and bicycle lanes.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program proposes to reduce more than 1,400 annual tons of CO2 and nearly 2,700 annual kilograms of VOC, NOx, and CO because of traffic-flow improvements and increased bicycle and pedestrian travel.
Reconstruction of Highland Avenue and Needham Street in Newton and Needham will provide significant reductions in vehicle delay through improvements at five intersections, and encourage increased bicycle and pedestrian trips via safer pedestrian crossings and new bicycle lanes.
One of MetroFuture’s implementation strategies is to focus on economic growth, and coordinate transportation investments to guide economic growth in the region. Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) worked with Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) to identify local, regional, and state-level priority development and preservation areas in municipalities within the MPO area. MAPC staff worked with municipalities and state partners to identify locations throughout the region that are principal supporters of additional housing, employment growth, creation and preservation of open space, and the infrastructure improvements required to support these outcomes for each location.
This process identified locations that are best suited to support the type of continued economic vitality and future growth that the market demands, and which communities desire. Identifying these key growth and preservation locations also helps MAPC, the Boston Region MPO, and state agencies to understand both the infrastructure and technical-assistance needs better, in order to help them prioritize the limited regional and state funding.
The MPO has not yet established performance measures to track the coordination of land-use development and transportation investments. However, the MPO uses TIP project-evaluation criteria to assess how well each project advances MetroFuture land-use planning. This means supporting investments in already-developed locations of residential or commercial/industrial activity, locations with adequate sewer and water infrastructure, areas identified for economic development by state, regional, and local planning, and areas with a relatively high density of existing development.
The MPO’s transportation investments advance economic vitality by prioritizing projects that support access to targeted development areas for multiple modes and serve areas of concentrated development. The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program proposes 17 investments that provide multimodal access to targeted development areas and 24 investments that serve areas of concentrated development.
The FFYs 2017–2021 TIP Target Program proposes 10 projects that provide multimodal access to targeted development areas that are well suited to support continued economic vitality and future growth. For example, reconstruction of Route 85 (Maple Street) will provide access to a 43D site located at the former Lucent site in Marlborough and reconstruction of Route 27 (North Main Street) will provide access to a 40R site located at the former Paperboard site at 182 North Main Street in Natick.
In addition, the reconstruction of Highland Avenue and Needham Street in Newton and Needham will leverage other investments in the form of an EOHED Massworks award. This award will fund reconstruction of two intersections within the limits of the corridor reconstruction to address safety and congestion and support future development.
Figure 4-11 describes how the FFYs 2017–2021 Regional Target-funded projects address various performance areas.
Figure 4-11: FFYs 2017-21 TIP Target Program: By the Numbers
Performance-based planning is an ongoing process that will continue to evolve as the MPO monitors and evaluates its planning and investment programs using performance measures. The MPO will advance performance-based planning through its core planning documents by:
In FFY 2017, the MPO will continue to monitor system-level trends and propose performance targets to guide investment decisions. If, in its annual monitoring, the MPO sees that it is not making progress toward its targets, then the organization would need to consider modifying investment or policy priorities, and weigh the tradeoffs involved.
For example, allocating a greater share of funding to intersection improvements at high-crash locations may make significant progress toward reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries; however, it also may affect the MPO’s ability to meet system-preservation targets for pavement or bridge conditions. By continuously monitoring and evaluating its progress, the MPO will be able to make these difficult decisions across competing goals and objectives in a more informed manner, resulting in greater outcomes for all concerned.
Determination of Air Quality Conformity
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is classified as “unclassifiable/attainment” for the ozone standard with the exception of Dukes County. Therefore, the Boston Region MPO does not have to perform a conformity determination for ozone for its LRTP or TIP.
In addition, on April 1, 1996, the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville were classified as “attainment” for carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. As part of past LRTPs, an air-quality conformity analysis was required for these communities, as they had a carbon monoxide maintenance plan approved as part of the Massachusetts State Implementation Plan (SIP). As of April 1, 2016, the 20-year maintenance period for this CO maintenance area expired and transportation conformity is no longer required for CO in these municipalities. This is documented in a letter from the United states Environmental Protection Agency dated May 12, 2016.
As of April 22, 2002, the community of Waltham was re-designated as being in attainment for CO, with an EPA-approved limited-maintenance plan. In areas that have approved limited-maintenance plans, federal actions requiring conformity determinations under the transportation conformity rule are considered to satisfy the “budget test” (as budgets are not treated as being constraining in these areas for the length of the initial maintenance period). Any requirements for future “project-level” conformity determinations for projects located within this community will continue to use a “hot-spot” analysis to ensure that any new transportation projects in this CO attainment area do not cause or contribute to CO nonattainment.
Therefore, the MPO is not required to perform modeling analyses for a conformity determination for ozone or CO; it is only required to provide the statement in the paragraph above regarding the Waltham attainment area. However, it still is required to provide a status report on the timely implementation of transportation control measures included as part of the SIP. This status report is provided below.
Transportation control measures (TCMs) were required in SIP in revisions submitted to the EPA in 1979 and 1982, and in those submitted as part of the Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project. The TCMs included in the 1979 and 1982 submissions were accomplished through construction or implementation of ongoing programs.
The TCMs submitted as part of the CA/T project mitigation have been included in the LRTP as recommended or completed projects, except for the following three projects:
MassDOT worked with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to address these projects, and continues to keep the Boston Region MPO informed of their status through monthly reports at the MPO’s regularly scheduled meetings. The Boston Region MPO will continue to include these projects in the LRTP and TIP until the process has been completed, assuming that any interim projects or programs would provide equal or better emissions benefits. When the process has been completed, the MPO will amend the LRTP and future TIPs and their conformity determinations to include any changes (including any interim projects or programs).
The status of the SIP projects has been updated using the SIP Transit Commitments Status Report, submitted by MassDOT to DEP in May 2016. Highlights of the report are presented below. For a detailed description of these projects’ status, please visit the MassDOT website at:
Project Status
MassDOT initiated a process to amend the SIP to permanently and completely remove the obligation to perform a final design of the Red Line-Blue Line Connector. To that end, MassDOT officially sought approval from DEP to support a SIP amendment process. MassDOT did not propose to substitute any new projects in place of the Red Line-Blue Line Connector commitment, given the absence of any air-quality benefits associated with that project (final design only). Correspondence from MassDOT to DEP to initiate the amendment process formally was submitted on July 27, 2011, and is posted on the MassDOT website.
On September 13, 2012, DEP held two hearings to take public comment on MassDOT’s proposed amendments to 310 CMR 7.36, “Transit System Improvements,” including eliminating the requirement to complete the final design of the Red Line-Blue Line Connector. Between the two hearings, there were 16 attendees, 10 of whom gave oral testimony. All who spoke at the hearings were in favor of DEP not removing the commitment. DEP accepted written testimony until September 24, 2012.
On August 23, 2013, EPA sent a letter to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to provide an update on Massachusetts Air Quality Conformity. In that letter, EPA noted that the Red Line-Blue Line Connector Design project had not met its completion date of December 2011, but that MassDOT was not obligated to implement interim emission-reduction projects because no emission reductions are associated with the design project.
On October 8, 2013, the DEP approved a request made by MassDOT in July 2011 to revise 310 CMR 7.36 to remove the requirement that MassDOT complete the design of the Red Line-Blue Line Connector. This revision to the SIP needed to be approved by EPA. The text of the revision is available on the MassDOT website at:
http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/Portals/17/docs/sip/October13UpdatedSIPReg.pdf.
On December 8, 2015, EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register approving the SIP revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 6, 2013. The final rule removes from the SIP the commitment to design the Red Line-Blue Line Connector project.
Funding Source
This commitment has been nullified.
Project Status
The Four Corners and Newmarket Stations opened for service on July 1, 2013. All change orders have been paid and the project is officially closed out. The Talbot Avenue Station opened in November 2012.
A station at Blue Hill Avenue has been the subject of significant community controversy during the past seven years. Redesign of the station reached 100 percent, with plans submitted in March 2016. While the community still has concerns, the project team is now advancing with the understanding that continued coordination with the community is paramount. Construction is scheduled to begin in winter 2016, and the station to open in summer 2018.
MassDOT and the MBTA prepared a Petition to Delay and an Interim Emission Offset Plan to be implemented for the duration of the delay of the Fairmount Line Improvements project. MassDOT estimated the reduced emissions that are expected to be generated by implementing the new Fairmount Line station and, with input from Fairmount Line stakeholders, proposed offset measures. MassDOT estimated that the potential offset measures would meet emissions-reduction targets. The measures include shuttle bus service from Andrew Square to Boston Medical Center and increased service on bus Route 31, which serves Dorchester and Mattapan. These measures were implemented on January 2, 2012, and currently are in place.

The Commonwealth
Project Status
State-level environmental review (Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA)) was completed in July 2010. Federal-level environmental review (National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)) documents were submitted to the Federal Transit Administration in September 2011, and a public hearing was held on October 20, 2011. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on July 9, 2012.
On January 5, 2015, the US Secretary of Transportation and the MBTA signed the Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) for the Green Line Extension project (GLX), approving $996,121,000 of FTA New Starts funding to support design and construction of the project. Execution of the FFGA was the result of many years of planning, design and pre-construction efforts by MassDOT and the MBTA, in collaboration with the FTA and its Project Management Oversight Consultant. Federal funding is scheduled to be paid between federal fiscal years (FFYs) 2015 and 2022. As noted in the MassDOT Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for fiscal year 2016, MassDOT and the MBTA will use Commonwealth funds in addition to federal funding to support design and construction activities.
As the project proceeded, it was later found that the project scope as defined in the Full Funding Grant Agreement could not be built for the $1.992 billion project cost established in January 2015. It was projected that the total project cost could range between $2.7 billion and $3.0 billion. The Commonwealth’s share of overall project costs would then be between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, rather than the currently budgeted $996 million.
With the federal contribution capped at $996 million and the Commonwealth responsible for all project cost increases, MassDOT and the MBTA had no choice but to re-evaluate the GLX project in order to recommend to the Commonwealth if and how the project should proceed.
MassDOT and the MBTA are now working to identify opportunities to value engineering elements of the project in order to bring costs of the overall project closer to the original anticipated costs.
The MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board and the MassDOT Board were briefed on August 24, 2015 and September 9, 2015, respectively, about these developments.
Before seeking additional state funding, MassDOT and the MBTA considered:
MassDOT and the MBTA actively sought stakeholder and public input on, as well as staff analysis of, options including the following:
Option 1 - Reduce the Project Scope and Project Costs
Downsize, delay, or eliminate planned vehicle maintenance and storage facility
Option 2 - Find Additional Sources of Funds, Other than State Bonds
This could include:
Option 3 - Change Procurement Method
Halt Construction Manager/General Contractor process and rebid project—in smaller contract packages—using a more traditional procurement method
Option 4 - Mothball or Cancel the Project
On May 9, 2016, the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board and the MassDOT Board voted to advance a scaled-down version of the project by submitting the redesign to federal regulators and continuing with plans for financing the project.
MassDOT will provide an update to DEP and the public as soon as it has determined the impact of this delay on the overall project schedule.
Prior to the cost increase, the project had been moving forward, with MassDOT and MBTA implementing a four-phased project-delivery plan.
Phase 1 used the traditional design-bid-build approach to deliver the contract for widening the Harvard Street and Medford Street railroad bridges and demolishing the 21 Water Street building. The MBTA also added some retaining wall construction to the Phase 1 contract that had previously been programmed for Phase 4 in that area. This contract is completed.
Phase 2/2A will extend service from the (new) Lechmere Station to the Washington Street and Union Square Stations and relocate the bus facility and vehicle storage at Lechmere Station.
Phase 3 will construct the vehicle-maintenance facility and storage facility.
Phase 4 will provide service from Washington Street Station (completed as part of Phase 2, above) to College Avenue Station.
New Green Line Vehicles: The MBTA Vehicle Procurement contract to purchase 24 Type 9 Vehicles was awarded to CAF USA Inc. in an amount not to exceed $118,159,822 at the MassDOT Board Meeting held on May 14, 2014. The NTP for this contract was issued on September 4, 2014.
CAF is in the process of developing drawing packages for the Preliminary Design; and the MBTA Project Team and CAF continue to hold technical working sessions and project meetings. In addition, weekly project management meetings are held between MBTA and CAF to discuss project status, short-term schedules and priorities; and monthly project status meetings are held to review and discuss all project issues, including schedules, deliverables, and milestones.
The first vehicle is to be delivered no later than 36 months from the notice to proceed. The pilot car delivery is scheduled for September 2017. The pilot car will receive comprehensive testing for six months followed by delivery of the remaining 22 vehicles, with the last car to be delivered by July 2018. All vehicles are expected to be in service in early 2019.
Somerville Community Path: Originally the Green Line Extension project included just the design of the extension of the Somerville Community Path from south of Lowell Street to the Inner Belt area of Somerville. In May 2014, MassDOT and the City of Somerville announced an agreement to add construction of the Community Path, including a connection to the Cambridge/Northpoint area, to the scope of the program. The Path Extension is not part of the SIP commitment and is currently being re-evaluated by the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board and the MassDOT Board.
SIP Requirement Status
By filing an Expanded Environmental Notification Form, procuring multiple design consultants, and publishing Draft and Final Environmental Impact Reports, MassDOT met the first four interim milestones associated with the Green Line Extension project. MassDOT—which has committed substantial resources to the Green Line Extension project, a top transportation priority of the Commonwealth and the largest expansion of the MBTA rapid transit system in decades—has transitioned the project from the planning and environmental review phases to design, engineering, and eventual construction, coupled with the tasks associated with applying for New Starts funding.
In the 2011 SIP Status Report, MassDOT reported that the Green Line Extension project would not meet the legal deadline of December 31, 2014.
Although the goal of the phased project delivery approach is to complete components in an incremental way, the timeline for overall project completion listed above represents a substantial delay beyond the current SIP deadline of December 31, 2014; this triggered the need to provide interim emission reduction offset projects and measures for the period of the delay (beginning January 1, 2015). Working with the Central Transportation Planning Staff, MassDOT and the MBTA calculated the reductions of non-methane hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide—reductions equal to or greater than those projected for the Green Line Extension itself, as specified in the SIP regulation—that will be required for the period of the delay.
In June 2012, MassDOT released a list of potential mitigation ideas received from the public that could be used as offset measures. In the summer and fall of 2012, MassDOT solicited public comments on these potential measures. The MBTA created an internal working group to determine a final portfolio of interim mitigation measures to implement by December 31, 2014, the legal deadline for implementation of the Green Line Extension.
This work resulted in a recommendation to implement the following three interim mitigation measures, which collectively would meet the emissions-reduction target for the project:
The Petition to Delay, submitted to DEP on July 22, 2014, which expands further on the analysis and determination of the interim offset measures, is available on MassDOT’s website. These measures went into effect at the beginning of 2015.

Project Status
Former MassDOT Secretary Richard Davey approved construction of the permitted ferry facility and a $460,000 ferry-service startup subsidy in October 2012. The 2005 facility plans and specifications were revised to meet the latest MassDOT Highway Division standards. The bid package was issued in fall 2013. A contractor was selected and the Notice to Proceed was issued in April 2014. Pre-construction activities progressed, but contractual issues associated with the project design led MassDOT to decide to rebid the contract. There is no regularly scheduled passenger water transportation service in this area, nor are there any plans to provide such service.
The City of Boston, however, is undertaking design and engineering work to address the Old Northern Avenue Bridge, which will allow for ferry vessel-clearance. The city received a grant in 2012 to purchase two ferry vessels for Inner Harbor use, which could include this ferry terminal as a destination. The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority has agreed to take over that grant and will purchase the vessels. Procurement could occur in calendar year 2016.

Financial Constraint
For financial constraint of the TIP, the highway funding programs must be financially constrained to projections of available federal aid.
As shown in the table below, the federal fiscal years 2017–21 TIP Regional Target Program complies with financial constraint.

Operation and Maintenance
One requirement of the FAST Act is the assessment of the operation and maintenance of the transportation system in the Boston region. State and regional agencies develop estimates of transit and highway operating and maintenance costs through their budgeting process. The information on projects and funding sources presented in Chapter 3 represents operations and maintenance estimates from the implementing agencies: the Cape Ann Transportation Authority (CATA), the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA), the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and the MassDOT Highway Division. The tables on pages 7-2 and 7-3 present the operations and maintenance expenditures for state fiscal years (SFYs) 2017 through 2021 for MassDOT projects.
