It’s Thursday morning, and millions of cars are parked in millions of driveways all over Massachusetts, gassed up and ready for their daily commutes. Car payments, insurance, E-ZPass and gas: These are the kinds of things most of us think about when we consider the cost of driving.
But the real price Massachusetts pays for its vehicle economy is much, much higher. Now, thanks to an ambitious research project by a team of graduate students at the Harvard Kennedy School, we have an idea of just how high: $64.1 billion a year.

SALEM, Mass. — Today, The Boston Globe reported on a new study from the Harvard Kennedy School that explored the hidden costs Massachusetts families pay for the state’s roads. Here is an excerpt from the article:

In one of the busiest weeks on Capitol Hill in the 13 years I’ve been in Washington, I logged a lot of fitbit steps chasing lawmakers to ask them about impeachment, healthcare, military funding and more:
Moulton: 'Afghanistan Papers' Prove Need For Counterterror-Only Strategy
Rep. Seth Moulton, a combat veteran who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said this week’s Washington Post "Afghanistan Papers" report “confirms that we haven’t had a clear mission to win” the war there.
After months of deliberation, Congress on Wednesday agreed to a defense bill that allows thousands of Afghans who worked with the American military to immigrate to the United States.
The National Defense Authorization Act for 2020 provides 4,000 Special Immigrant Visas to Afghan interpreters and others whose lives are threatened due to their work with American forces. For former interpreters like Zia Ghafoori, the visas are the difference between life and death.
