On November 8, 2022, Massachusetts voters passed Question 1: the Fair Share Amendment. We chose a fairer tax system, guaranteeing that the richest one percent will pay more to fund our public schools, colleges, roads, bridges, and public transit.

Now, Fair Share is at work, already funding more than $2.3 billion in transportation and public education investments—with more to come.

million

for construction projects and green infrastructure in public schools, from kindergarten through 12th grade
