Transportation Speaker Series: Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and Bikes)
Highlight:
Estimates suggest that Massachusetts must spend an additional
$1 billion per year simply to repair and maintain our aging
transportation infrastructure. Former Secretary Mullan will
focus on what we have accomplished so far and what remains to be
done.
Description:
America’s transportation systems and organizations are at a
crossroads. Largely built in the post WWII era, these systems
are badly in need of maintenance and repair. At the same
time, we need new roads and transit systems to grow our economy and
meet the transportation needs of today, not yesterday. In
Massachusetts the estimated gap between the dollars we have and the
dollars we need to simply repair and maintain the current system is
estimated at $1B per year. This talk will focus on what
Massachusetts leaders have done to manage this situation and what
additional steps are needed to address the critical civic
need. URL:
