AI Summary
This bill establishes a two-year Indigo Line pilot project to evaluate the impact of improved service levels on ridership along the Fairmount/Indigo Line, which is a commuter rail line in Massachusetts. The bill defines "adequate service levels" as a minimum of three train sets dedicated to the line, with train service operating at headways of no more than 30 minutes during off-peak hours and 15 minutes during peak hours. The bill also requires that riders can use various fare media, including discounted options, and that fares be at the same rate as the subway network, with free transfers to connecting bus lines and the Red and Silver Lines. The Department of Transportation is tasked with conducting a public outreach campaign and collecting and reporting on ridership data during the pilot project.
