Two Years of Fair Share Funding at Work

Year:

2024

Description:

Nearly two years after Massachusetts voted to create a more equitable tax system, the Fair Share tax has funded $2.3 billion dollars in education and transportation investment.

These Fair Share investments have been, and continue to be, transformational for Massachusetts residents - with direct and immediate effects through increased affordability and access to crucial programs.  Longer term, Fair Share revenue will allow us to fix bridges, repair buildings at public universities, and annually finance $250 million in bonds to pay for transportation infrastructure improvements. These projects will have a real impact on the quality of life for everyone in the Commonwealth.
