Boston Globe: Transit woes bad for business, executives say

From Boston Globe:

Zane is among a number of Massachusetts business executives who have become increasingly concerned about the condition of the state's ailing transportation system and its woeful finances. Those executives are now lobbying the state, arguing that a failure to take swift action will have severe consequences for the state's economy. A new study published by A Better City, a Boston-based business organization, found that congestion on Massachusetts roads cost businesses $1.8 billion a year in lost productivity and increased shipping costs, a nearly fourfold increase since 1990.
