Massachusetts Drivers Burned More Gasoline in 2023, Undermining Governor Healey’s Climate Goals

An animation shows how numerous speed restrictions were removed from the central segment of the Green Line between Jan. 3, 2024 and Jan. 29, when the line reopened after an extended closure for track work. The first frame for Jan. 3 shows a dense cluster of speed restriction icons in the center of the Green Line between Kenmore Square and North Station. The second frame, showing the same map on Jan. 29, shows significantly fewer speed restriction icons.
