Issue Position: Reinvent Transportation with A New Eisenhower Plan -- for Transit

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Transportation

Your time is valuable, but getting around keeps getting harder. Greater Boston has the worst traffic in the country, and transit is inconvenient and unreliable. Moreover, transportation accounts for more than 40% of Massachusetts' carbon emissions. Jake has been one of the Newton City Council's leaders on transportation and an advocate for progressive transportation policies statewide. As a manager at Liberty Mutual's innovation lab, he helped re-orient a Fortune 100 company to urban planning less dependent on single-occupancy vehicles.

In Congress, Jake will ensure that federal investments in a carbon-neutral future, including any form of a Green New Deal, bring funding for Massachusetts to re-invent its transportation system. The status quo of traffic and pollution is not acceptable. Jake will help deliver smarter transportation policy to Massachusetts, while strengthening the vibrancy of downtowns and neighborhoods from Fall River to Franklin, Needham to Brookline.
