These proposals were previously proposed in bills fi led by the administration for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) and are now being refi led for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20). “This legislation will provide additional resources to enhance the safety of MBTA infrastructure, improve local schools and support testing for PFAS contamination in drinking water supplies,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We look forward to working with the Legislature to pass this bill into law and deliver these much-needed investments.” “Our Administration is committed to supporting growth and development for our community partners throughout the Commonwealth,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “These meaningful investments support public transit, health care and education priorities in a responsible manner and provide needed funding for local municipalities across Massachusetts.” The bill provides the MBTA with $18 million, which, with the $32 million authorized in the FY19 final supplemental spending bill, allows for a total of $50 million to support additional staff, contractors and other resources necessary to expedite the completion of critical capital projects, enable proactive inspections to detect and address safety and reliability issues before they impact service, and implement enhanced maintenance procedures to ensure the reliable operation of MBTA vehicles and infrastructure. The bill authorizes $4.2 million to test drinking water supplies for potential per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. This testing would support state and local efforts to determine the scope of the problem and identify best solutions, and it supplements the $4.2 million authorized in the FY19 fi nal supplemental bill. The bill also proposes transferring $10 million to the Twenty-First Century Education Trust Fund. This request FILES | SEE PAGE 17
