BOSTON — The Healey-Driscoll administration announced that it is delivering more than $13 million for 14 projects to support local transportation infrastructure and other needs. 

 

The awards come from revenue generated by the Fair Share Amendment and are matching funds for projects and initiatives eligible for federal discretionary grants offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation. 

 

In Berkshire County, the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission will receive $49,649 to develop a safety action plan. Safety action plans use a data-based approach to improve roadway safety for all users.  

 

These matching funds are part of a total of $476.5 million in Fair Share dollars made available for transportation

 investment in the FY24 Massachusetts Budget. 

 

"When we empower city and town leaders to address their unique infrastructure needs, we are helping themachieve a better quality of life for their residents," said Governor Maura Healey. "We're proud to partner with the Legislature to dedicate Fair Share funding to critical initiatives like these, which will help make our state's transportation network safer and more robust – and our municipalities more interconnected."
