Bill Summary

For legislation relative to congestion relief in East Boston. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to design and implement a temporary pilot program at the Sumner, Callahan, and Ted Williams Tunnels to test the feasibility of implementing variable toll rates based on time of day, with the goal of relieving congestion for motorists. The program will include a discount structure with at least a 25% off-peak discount, and only vehicles with transponders issued by the Commonwealth will be eligible for the discounts. The program is projected to result in a total toll revenue loss of no more than $100,000 and must commence no later than October 1, 2019. Within 60 days of the program's conclusion, the Department must submit a report to the legislature detailing the program's scope, implementation challenges, lessons learned, and proposed next steps for using tolling policies to alleviate congestion on roadways.
