On Thursday Governor Charlie Baker, in one of his
first actions in office, directed Acting Secretary of Transportation and Chief
Executive Officer Frank DePaola and the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation (MassDOT) to follow through on the Baker-Polito administration's
commitment to release immediately $100 million in Chapter 90 transportation
funds critical to job creation, public safety and economic growth.
"I am pleased that one of the first acts of
this administration is to fulfill our commitment to ensure local governments
have access to the infrastructure funds they have been promised for
transportation upgrades," said Governor Baker. "The release of these
funds represents a step towards creating better jobs and building stronger
communities in Massachusetts."
