Innovative Finance: Creative Options to Fund Transportation in Massachusetts
Dana Levenson, Chief Financial Officer,
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)
Transportation funding is a hot topic in Massachusetts as the
Legislature reviews a dramatic funding proposal from the Governor.
While the current discussion focuses on many traditional sources of
revenue, other innovative options exist. In his role as MassDOT CFO
and drawing on his past experience, Dana Levenson will discuss
other transportation financing options and their potential in
Massachusetts. Levenson is the former Managing Director and Head of
Infrastructure Banking, Americas for The Royal Bank of Scotland
(RBS) and served previously as the City of Chicago’s chief
financial officer. In that role, he had oversight of the city
comptroller's office and the departments of budget and management,
procurement services and revenue. Levenson was responsible for the
long-term leases of both the Chicago Skyway for $1.83 billion in
2005 and the Chicago Downtown Parking System in 2006 for $563
million. Levenson previously served as a managing director with
Bank One and Bank of America. He received his bachelor's degree in
European history from Brown University and his MBA from New York
University.
