December 14, 2018 (BOSTON) – Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) issued the following statement today in response to the announcement of recommendations from the Commission on the Future of Transportation in Massachusetts.

“Today’s report provides a bold vision for the future of Massachusetts, reminding us that our transportation infrastructure needs a massive increase in investment and innovation while ensuring equal access for everyone,” said Bradley Campbell, President of CLF. “The report throws down a gauntlet to the Legislature and the Baker administration to act, without delay, to protect the health and prosperity of families and businesses in the Commonwealth.”
