An Act financing long-term improvements to municipal roads and bridges

This bill allocates $2.1 billion in state funds to improve Massachusetts' municipal roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure. It directly affects cities and towns by providing reimbursement for road construction/reconstruction (up to $400 million based on local mileage), bridge/pavement repairs, and climate-resilient projects. Key mechanisms include requiring municipalities to certify completed work before reimbursement, prioritizing long-term capital plans, and linking transportation funding to housing development projects. The bill also includes $200 million for rail modernization and $200 million for parkway safety and resilience upgrades.
