Interactive Web map tracks stimulus spending in Mass.

By Globe Staff

The Massachusetts Transportation Department today unveiled an interactive Web-based map that shows all projects in the state funded by the federal stimulus.

The map will automatically update in real time with bidding and construction time lines and show how much money has been spent to date. Users can click project by project or sort the information by county, region, and congressional district.

"This new feature will help the public see timely, specific information about the important investments we are making with federal stimulus transportation funds," said Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Mullan in a statement.
