Bill > H3076

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to commission a study on congestion in East Boston, focusing on the causes and impacts related to the airport, ride-hailing companies, commuters from neighboring areas, and local development. The study will involve consultations with various stakeholders, including local governments, transportation authorities, and community groups. Based on the findings, the department will make recommendations on how to alleviate the congestion, with a focus on promoting and improving public transit options, such as the Blue Line, Red Line-Blue Line connection, Commuter Rail, and bus rapid transit. The department will publish a report on its findings by July 31, 2019 and share it with the relevant elected officials and the City of Boston's Transportation Department.
