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 time-of-day variable tolling with at least a 25% discount for off-peak travel. The program is intended to relieve congestion and is limited to a projected revenue loss of no more than $100,000. After the conclusion of the program, the department must submit a report to the state legislature detailing the program's scope, implementation challenges, lessons learned, and proposed next steps to use tolling policies to alleviate congestion.
