Mohler Executive Director Office of Transportation Planning Massachusetts Department of Transportation 10 Park Plaza Boston, MA 02116-3969 Subject: FY 2021-2025 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Amendment #2 Dear Mr. Mohler: Thank you for your letter received on January 5, 2021. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has reviewed the Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025 STIP with the following amendments and adjustments received from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and endorsed by the relevant Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO): Action Organization MPO Endorsement Date 1.01 Berkshire MPO December 22, 2020 1.02-1.05 Boston MPO December 17, 2020 1.06-1.08 Merrimack Valley MPO December 30, 2020 1.09-1.10 Pioneer Valley MPO December 22, 2020 1.11 Southeastern Mass MPO December 9, 2020 Our review consisted of ensuring that the FY 2021-2025 STIP Amendment #2 and associated FY 2021- 2025 TIP Amendments adopted by the MPOs are based on a continuing, comprehensive and cooperative transportation planning process that substantially meets the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 134 and 135 and 23 CFR 450. The actions listed above do not require an air quality determination. Changes called for in this STIP amendment maintain financial constraint as required under 23 CFR 450.218. Additionally, our approval of the FY 2021-2025 STIP was subject to the resolution of one corrective action. On December 29, 2020, we received an action plan update addressing the corrective action and a number of recommendations, indicating that all self-certifications have been updated and completing the corrective action.

  • A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
    C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

  • Congestion in the Commonwealth Report to the Governor 2019
    CONGESTION IN THE COMMONWEALTH REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR 2019 Acknowledgements It took the hard work of many people to compile the data and develop the analysis pre- sented in this report. In particular, it could not have happened without Liz Williams and Cassandra Bligh, who brought it from idea to completion. In addition, Neil Boudreau, Ethan Britland, Jackie DeWolfe, Katherine Fichter, Amy Getchell, Shannon Greenwell, Administrator Astrid Glynn, Administrator Jonathan Gulliver, Meghan Haggerty, Derek Krevat, Kevin Lopes, David Mohler, Quinn Molloy, Dave DiNocco, Ben Mueller, Caroline Vanasse, Corey O’Connor, Bryan Pounds, Argenis Sosa, Jules Williams, Jaqueline Goddard, Phil Primack, and Steve Woelfel of MassDOT; Kate Benesh, Wes Edwards, Phillip Groth, Mike Muller, Laurel Paget-Seekins, and General Manager Steve Poftak of the MBTA; Nicolette Hastings and Donald J. Cooke of VHB; and Nathan Higgins, Joseph Zissman, Scott Boone, Michalis Xyntarakis, Richard Margiotta, Alexandria Washington, and Kenneth Michek of Cambridge Systematics all contributed to the body of work compiled here. Angela Valenti of Cambridge Systematics prepared the design of the report. LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY Nobody likes being stuck in traffic. We all know the frustration that comes from sitting in a sea of taillights or watching a traffic signal repeatedly turn red as we creep toward an intersection. Congestion is nothing new in Massachusetts, but traffic data, anecdotal information, and our own daily experiences seem to be telling us that travel times are getting longer, becoming less predictable, or both. Congestion has become an unpleas- ant fact of life for too many Massachusetts drivers, who are finding that it takes longer than it used to in order to get where they are going.
