The MBTA is facing profound financial challenges, according to a local business-backed fiscal watchdog group. The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation warns by fiscal year 2022, the T could have an operating budget deficit of over $400 million.

The Foundation warns that a shortfall of that magnitude could present an "existential" threat for the agency. We hear from Eileen McAnneny, president of Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, and Jarred Johnson, Chief Operating Officer of TransitMatters.
