Legislative leaders are likely to review and respond to Healey's transportation funding plans during the first half of 2025Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday announced a plan to invest $8 billion in roads, bridges and the MBTA over the next 10 years, a plan she called “historic” and said will not rely on any tax increases.

Her plan will be spread into three different legislative vehicles: the annual fiscal year 2026 state budget which she plans to file next week, a separate supplemental budget to be filed with the annual budget, and a Chapter 90 bill that will emerge days after the other two. Healey's annual budget, which she must file by Jan. 22, will call for steering $765 million of the $1.95 billion in available surtax funds to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund and repeating that pattern every year.

Healey's budget will also call for continuing the traditional $187 million in T assistance through a different line item, pushing the total state budget funding for the agency to $687 million -- hundreds of millions of dollars more than the current spending plan. Her plan anticipates new bonding to cover projects like MBTA track improvements, part of the Allston highway megaproject, a sweeping bridge repair effort, and a significant fortification of the Chapter 90 program that reimburses municipalities for local road and bridge work.
