MVTMA/2013 MassCommute Bicycle Challenge REGISTRATION

Transportation Finance Roundtable a Success!

More than 80 people attended the Merrimack Valley TMA's March 6th Transportation Finance Roundtable at Merrimack College. The roundtable featured remarks by North Andover Town Manager Andrew Maylor and Andover Town Manager Reginald Stapczynski as well as a presentation by MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard Davey of the state's plan for transportation infrastructure investment and how to pay for that investment. Senate Transportation Chair Thomas McGee moderated a lively conversation with attendees. Most people in the room agreed that they want and need - at a minimum, the infrastructure that is currently in place - the key question remains how should we pay for it!

If you could not attend the event, you may review a one page summary of The Way Forward: A 21st – Century Transportation Plan here. We are still collecting comments to let the legislature know your thoughts on how/if we should pay for transportation infrastructure investment.
