AI Summary

This bill establishes the Metropolitan Transportation Network, which is a comprehensive system that includes the Metropolitan Highway System, the Metropolitan Waterways System, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) assets that serve the same transportation routes or geographic area. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to develop and implement a comprehensive system of tolling on the Metropolitan Highway System, which must treat users equitably, utilize electronic tolling technology, and provide incentives for motorists to use the MBTA assets. It also allows the use of toll revenue to operate, maintain, and expand the MBTA assets, as long as the Metropolitan Highway System is adequately operated and maintained. The bill also authorizes the Department of Transportation to work with various federal agencies and local stakeholders to implement these requirements.
