MassDOT has released its report on the state's transportation needs for the 21st century and how to pay for them. Two of the top high priority highway projects involve the I-93/I-95 interchanges both south and north of Boston (report includes 'photo' of what Canton interchange will look like). It also calls for a pilot program where state residents would pay a tax based on miles driven instead of a gas tax.
The report can be reached through the press release here:

Thanks for sharing Bob! The flyover ramps for the I-93/I-95 Canton interchange look promising! And it won't disrupt what's already been accomplished in the Add-A-Lane project.

The state of MA does ==NOT== need to know how many miles my relatives have driven! In fact I'll just have them take the shortest route to/from NH to boycott it. I'm already doing such things; my mom and I got a NH E-ZPass to replace my grandmother's MA unit.
