The Baker administration has authorized $200 million in transportation funds for municipalities this construction season through Chapter 90.

Chapter 90 funding supports the reimbursement of every municipality in the commonwealth for road-related construction projects and comes from general obligation bond issuances.

The funding was approved with the passing of House Bill 4133, An Act Financing Improvements to Certain Municipal Roads, which Baker signed yesterday afternoon.

Cities and towns will submit receipts to the MassDOT Highway Division district in which they are located to verify that their roadway work expenditures qualify for reimbursement under Chapter 90. The Highway Districts in turn submit these receipts to the Department of Transportation’s Fiscal Department which facilitates the reimbursements to cities and towns.

“Along with Unrestricted General Government Aid, Chapter 70, and various local grant programs we have supported, Chapter 90 is another critical funding source to support cities and towns across Massachusetts,” Kristen Lepore, secretary of the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, said in a statement. “We appreciate the Legislature’s timely collaboration in order to provide funding prior to this year’s construction season.”
