AI Summary

This bill is intended to explore alternative funding sources for transportation infrastructure in Massachusetts. It establishes a Vehicle Mileage User Fee (VMUF) Task Force to guide the development and evaluation of a pilot program to assess the potential for mileage-based revenue collection as an alternative to the current motor vehicle fuel tax. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to develop and oversee one or more statewide pilot programs to test the reliability, ease of use, cost, and public acceptance of technologies and methods for counting, reporting, and collecting mileage-based user fees. The pilot programs will also analyze the ability of different technologies to protect data integrity, ensure driver privacy, and vary pricing based on factors like time of driving, road type, vehicle fuel efficiency, and driver income. The Department of Transportation is required to report the initial results of the pilot study to the state legislature within three years, including an evaluation of the feasibility and impacts of a permanent VMUF system.
