The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Transit Connectivity Grant Program provides up to $10 million in grants to Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs). This program, authorized by Section 1596-2406 of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Act, aims to foster connectivity between existing public transportation routes, encompassing both RTA and MBTA routes. The core mission of this grant program is to enhance the overall accessibility and efficiency of public transit throughout Massachusetts, aligning with broader goals of promoting sustainable transportation and community development. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) in Massachusetts. Through the creation or alteration of routes, the program ultimately seeks to benefit the general public, particularly low-income individuals, by providing increased access to public transportation. The impact goals are centered on improving the public transit experience by increasing ridership, extending the total mileage covered in single trips (thereby increasing coverage), and ensuring that these improvements reach underserved communities. The program prioritizes operating projects that directly address three key criteria: opportunities for increased ridership, opportunities for increased total mileage covered in a single trip (coverage), and opportunities to reach low-income individuals. Awards are made on a competitive basis, indicating a strategic focus on projects that demonstrate the most potential for achieving these objectives and providing a clear return on investment in terms of public benefit. The expected outcomes include a more interconnected and efficient public transportation system across the state. Measurable results will likely involve tracking increases in ridership numbers, the expansion of transit coverage as measured by total mileage, and the demonstrable impact on low-income communities. While not explicitly detailed as a "theory of change" in the provided text, the underlying strategy is that by investing in improved transit connectivity, MassDOT will create a more equitable and effective public transportation network, thereby enhancing the quality of life for residents and contributing to economic vitality.
