MassDOT’s Transportation Investment Gameplan

Remarks to ARTBA Northeastern Regional Meeting

November 9, 2017

Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary and CEO

We are busy at MassDOT – In the last two years we have • Spent $2.8 billion on highway construction contracts

• Distributed over $560 million in Chapter 90 payments (out of $700 million authorized) to cities and towns to improve local roads

• Rehabilitated or replaced approximately 80 bridges, including two Accelerated Bridge Program “Mega Projects” ahead of schedule and on-budget

• Paved approximately 2,000 lane miles of roadway paved – equivalent to paving a one lane road across Massachusetts and back over 5 times

• Installed approximately 160 miles of sidewalk

• Removed 24 manual toll plazas (159 toll booths) on I-90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) and replaced with 16 All Electronic Tolling gantries

• Awarded $12.5 million awarded through the Complete Streets Funding Program for 26 cities and towns to improve and build new infrastructure.

• Awarded $16 million awarded through the Small Municipal Bridge Program for 36 communities to preserve or repair their own small bridges between 10 and 20 feet not eligible for federal aid

• Installed 137 “GoTime” Real Time Traffic Signs on highways throughout Massachusetts

Highway record

high spending

levels on projects

are in addition

to higher spending

levels for

Chapter 90

and higher capital

spending at the

MBTA.

But we know that it’s not enough – our assets are not yet in good condition

So what’s the gameplan? • Prioritize: Focus on fixing what we have, in order to

improve reliability for drivers and transit users alike

• Measure and Track: Document asset condition, set targets and track progress

• Deliver: Deliver projects on time and on budget while minimizing customer disruption wherever possible

• Innovate: Reinvent how we plan, deliver and finance transportation projects

• Plan Ahead: Design/engineer and plan for the next generation of major investments

► The 2018-2022 update continues the investment strategy of the

prior CIP

► 64% of funds go toward the reliability of our transportation

system

► Modest investments are made in modernization and expansion

of the system

► CIP is funded from a mix of federal and state sources, each of

which varies with respect to its flexibility in uses for different

elements of the transportation system

MBTA has been reinventing capital delivery

The MBTA has shortened the construction procurement from 7-9 months to no more than 3 months since the beginning of FY17 with the following improvements:

Eliminated duplicative processes

Held to stated bid periods

Reduced time for routine tasks

Reviewed bid timelines with construction industry groups

The MBTA is currently focused on reducing design procurement to no more than 6 months.
