The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will have a series of public meetings – including in Boston, Chelsea and Framingham – to get input on their proposed improvements over the next five years.
MassDOT released the following information:
In the fall of 2015 MassDOT held Capital Conversations throughout Massachusetts to solicit public input for the preparation of the MassDOT 5 year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2017-2021.
This multi-billion dollar program makes long-term, multi-modal investments across the Commonwealth and covers all MassDOT highway and municipal projects, regional airports, rail and transit, including MBTA and Regional Transit Authorities as well as the Registry of Motor Vehicles. MassDOT will hold a series of public meetings across the Commonwealth to present and discuss the Draft 5 year Capital Investment Plan. Please join us as we present the Draft CIP plan, seek additional public comments and answer your questions. Your participation is critical to its success!
If you are unable to attend a meeting, a copy of the presentation is available at www.mass.gov/massdot/cip
Public comment may be submitted by email masscip@state.ma.us
