Massachusetts Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt discussed the financial challenges of the Department of Transportation and the need to explore aggressive strategies like border tolling for revenue generation.
A special task force is working on long-term transportation finance recommendations, including increasing traffic enforcement, tolling, and higher charges for rideshare companies, as indicated by Tibbits-Nutt.
The task force led by Tibbits-Nutt is still in the early stages, emphasizing the necessity of 'difficult conversations' and considering proposals in collaboration with the Legislature and stakeholders.
Tibbits-Nutt's suggestion of adding border tolls to address financial hurdles is part of a broader initiative that aims to establish a sustainable transportation finance plan by the end of 2024.
