AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the transition to a clean, sustainable, and equitable transportation system in Massachusetts. It defines "zero-emission vehicles" and "low-emission vehicles", and establishes requirements for motor vehicle fleets to transition to these cleaner vehicles. The bill sets targets for the percentage of low-emission or zero-emission vehicles in motor vehicle fleets, with the goal of 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035. It also requires the Commonwealth to purchase and lease low-emission and zero-emission vehicles for its own fleet, with increasing percentages over time. The bill allows the state to assess penalty fees for non-compliance, which will be used to maintain and construct electric vehicle infrastructure, with a focus on serving environmental justice populations. The bill also requires the state to submit periodic reports on the progress of the zero-emission vehicle fleet program.
