Visit Pioneer's New Transportation Dashboard
A joint effort with Northeastern's College of Engineering, this online, interactive application is designed to model a performance measurement system that could be deployed by the state’s Department of Transportation. It features an array of publicly-available data in an easy-to-digest format, and includes the latest information on key indicators of performance such as congestion, throughput, safety, construction management, and environmental stewardship.
For two decades, any discussion of transportation in Massachusetts has focused on the Big Dig. Now that Big Dig construction is substantially complete, a backlog of projects awaits. Yet it has been estimated a funding gap of between $15 billion and $19 billion exists just to maintain our current system, absent any projects to expand it.
To properly address the transportation and infrastructure issues facing the Commonwealth, Pioneer asks the following questions:
- › Does the Commonwealth have a strategic vision for an integrated transportation system?
- › If so, what is that vision? If not, what should it be?
- › Are the projects presently under consideration the right projects to help achieve that vision?
- › Does the Commonwealth have the right set of criteria to consider whether to undertake these and future projects?
- › Does the Commonwealth consider future asset maintenance when budgeting a project?
- › Does the Commonwealth have an integrated program for maintaining the assets it already has?
