Ask Dr. LJ -- MBTA funding
Hi,
So the MBTA is part of the Mass Dept. of Transportation (MassDOT). Although the T raises money through fares and the like, they certainly get funding through the DOT and thus through the state.
My question is, which legislative committee is most responsible for approving funds for the DOT (or the budget in general)? It's not clear who holds the purse strings.
Thanks
Tom
