Overall Impact of Governor’s Budget • 2-year program: not the same scale advocated by TSB • TSB = $7.5 Billion vs 2-year increase = $0.5 Billion • But big increase nonetheless • If continued over 10 years: $2.5 Billion • Major commitment given current fiscal crisis
Overall Impact of Governor’s Budget • FOCUS: primarily preservation • Transit system: but allows us to start advancing enhancements to system • Highway system: reducing preservation backlog will allow us to advance enhancement projects sooner
