Why is mbta shut down

The COVID pandemic took over virtually all attention, though, and lawmakers were unable to reach an agreement on a House-approved package of tax and fee increases aimed at directing hundreds of millions of dollars more per year toward roads, bridges and transit.

Baker and Pollack have both expressed skepticism about a gas tax increase or other proposals to direct more operating dollars to the T, instead touting the administration's focus on capital improvement and helping the MBTA build out its capacity to spend on projects.

Transit will likely emerge as a campaign issue in for Baker or other candidates for governor, who will measure the impacts of the administration's work against arguments that the system still needs more investment.

Signals, switches, tracks — all the stuff we love that never gets the attention it deserves, but has a profound impact on the system's capacity to serve the folks who ride it every day. The MBTA faces a challenging road ahead. The Legislature's push this session to generate new funding for the T is effectively over, but the issue will return in the lawmaking session when the House and Senate vote on whether to place an income surtax on the ballot aimed at raising money for education and transportation.
