AI Summary
This bill aims to electrify public transportation in Massachusetts. It sets targets for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to operate a fully electric bus fleet by 2030 and a fully electric commuter rail system by 2035. It also requires regional transit authorities (RTAs) to operate a fully electric bus fleet by 2035. The bill directs the MBTA to prioritize operating electric buses in environmental justice communities, conduct community outreach, and report on its progress in electrifying the bus and rail fleet. It also requires the MBTA to establish deadlines for upgrading bus maintenance facilities to support an all-electric bus fleet and to update and expand its zero-emission vehicle infrastructure.
