Legislation includes $200 million in Chapter 90 funding and $175 million for six statewide transportation infrastructure grant programs

MELROSE - Today, Governor Maura Healey signed legislation at an event in Melrose which authorizes $200 million for Fiscal Year 2025 to fund bridge and road maintenance and other infrastructure projects in municipalities across the state under the Chapter 90 program. In addition, the legislation will fund a total of $175 million more for six transportation infrastructure grant programs. 

The Chapter 90 program provides municipalities with an annual funding source for improvements to and investments in local transportation networks. Every municipality in the state is allocated a portion of total program dollars, which allows them to evaluate their unique transportation needs and goals and allocate funding dollars accordingly.   

In addition, Chapter 90 funding helps cities and towns compete for new, historic?levels?of?federal grant?opportunities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as proof of available?matching funds is generally?required?as a condition of?applying for?a?federal?award, and?showing the availability of dedicated funds for this?purpose?dramatically strengthens applications to any such federal program. 

“We know that residents’ quality of life and our state’s economic strength depends on people being able to get where they need to go safely and on time,” said Governor Maura Healey. “These Chapter 90 funds and millions more for six grant programs will help us deliver on critical road, bridge and infrastructure projects that communities and the traveling public need. We're proud to sign this bill into law today and grateful to the Legislature for their partnership.” 

“As a former mayor, I know how much this money means to our cities and towns,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “In particular, Chapter 90 apportionments go a long way in making sure our transportation system is safe and reliable for people who live, work, and visit our communities." 

“MassDOT is pleased to play the role of administrator of the Chapter 90 Program and to support transportation infrastructure needs state-wide with funds available through six grant programs because we have seen the on-the-ground impact the funding can have in our cities and towns,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt.  “From adding to sidewalks, improving pavement condition, building bicycle lanes, and numerous other projects, municipal leaders use Chapter 90 and grant awards to invest in their transportation networks.” 

The funding will facilitate longstanding and newly identified projects and improvements, including bridge repairs and reconstruction; roadway, bike path, sidewalk, and curbing construction; accessibility improvements; milling and paving; and lighting and traffic signal improvements. 

In addition to the $200 million total in Chapter 90 funding for Fiscal Year 2025, the Rural Roadway Funding program and six transportation infrastructure grant programs will each receive a total of $25 million: 

- Municipal Pavement Program, which focuses on the improvement of municipally-owned state-number routes. Projects are selected based on pavement condition data, the proportion of state numbered routes in poor condition in a municipality, and geographic equity. 

- Municipal Small Bridge Program, which provides financial assistance to cities and towns for small bridge replacement, preservation, and rehabilitation projects. To be eligible, bridges must be on a local public way and must be on the State Bridge Inventory with a span between 10 and 20 feet. 

- Rural Roadway Funding Program, which distributes funds to all 351 municipalities using a formula based on local road mileage, municipal population, and rurality.  

- Complete Streets Funding Program, which provides funding for municipalities to build infrastructure for “complete streets” projects that support travel for everyone whether they walk, bicycle, take public transportation, or drive. 

- Municipal Bus Enhancement Program, which provides grant funding to build out infrastructure related to mass transit by bus. 

- Mass Transit Access Grant Program, which provides grants for design and construction improvements to access commuter rail stations or other mass transit stations, such as parking lots, drop-off and pick-up zones, bicycle storage infrastructure, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. 

- Municipal/Regional Transit Authority (RTA) Electric Vehicle (EV) Grant Program, which provides grants to RTAs and municipalities for the purchase of electric vehicles and related charging equipment. 

The Governor signed the bill in Melrose alongside Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, Administration and Finance Secretary Matthew Gorzkowicz, Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt, and Mayor Jennifer Grigoraitis. Melrose has been using Chapter 90 funding to support several road improvement projects on Main Street. The updated construction work will include new concrete sidewalks and new granite upgrades and replacement of the existing asphalt sidewalk. Melrose will be receiving over $520,000 in funding for these projects.   

“Chapter 90 funds give towns and cities the chance to improve the safety, function and beauty of our local neighborhoods and local transportation infrastructure,” said Melrose Mayor Jen Grigoraitis. “The additional Chapter 90 funding in the law signed today will make a world of difference for cities like Melrose and enable us to continue to pursue proactive and high-impact improvements to local roads and routes.”
