An Act expediting the Massachusetts Department of Transportation project delivery

This bill requires Massachusetts DOT to begin construction on transportation infrastructure projects within 7 days of completing traffic studies and bidding, unless safety concerns or funding unavailability necessitate a delay. Exceptions for delays require written justification approved by the Secretary, detailing circumstances and mitigation plans. DOT must establish clear project timelines, provide annual progress reports to the Joint Committee on Transportation, and issue immediate updates for delays exceeding 90 days. The law applies directly to all DOT infrastructure projects (like roads and bridges) and mandates implementing regulations within 90 days of passage.
