BOSTON—Gov. Charlie Baker has proposed floating an $18-billion transportation bond that would include nearly $6 billion to modernize the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

The bill entitled “Authorizing and Accelerating Transportation Investment” includes a series of initiatives from the administration to combat congestion on the Commonwealth’s roadways, including establishing a tax credit to encourage telecommuting and remote working, expanding the use of designated bus lanes and transit signal priority, as well as creating a program designed to reduce bottlenecks on local roadways.
