The Massachusetts Restaurant Association says eateries in East Boston have reported a 20% decline in sales during weekends the tunnel has been closed for repairs.

The Sumner Tunnel is slated to reopen Monday, after a July closure for repairs that often led to heavy traffic jams. Weekend tunnel closures are expected to continue through at least October.

It was a big, even overwhelming, assignment from the governor: Come up with new ways to fund the state's sweeping transportation needs, from the MBTA and regional transit to roads and bridges.

The MBTA is set to launch a new reduced fare program this week, dramatically widening the pool of people who qualify and potentially cutting transit costs in half for about 60,000 riders.

For MBTA passengers, it can frustrating to stand at a trolley platform or bus stop, wondering when their ride will come.

The Red Line Braintree branch is closed through Sept. 29 for track repair work. Some riders are finding service alternatives tough to navigate. They're hoping the inconvenience will pay off.

Question 3 asks voters to decide if ride-hailing drivers can form unions to collectively bargain with app companies like Uber and Lyft for wages, benefits and work conditions.

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst are using drones to examine the crash risks between cars and bicycles in Somerville.

The MBTA wants more people to pay their fares when they ride. The transit system has deployed a new crew of workers on the Green Line to encourage riders to pay.

Massachusetts officials have won more than $1 billion in transportation funding for key projects. That money could be vulnerable under the next Trump administration. Pete Buttigieg at Harvard urges moving "at warp speed."
