Bill > H3561

This bill aims to update the Massachusetts Rideshare Program. It proposes several key changes, including: (1) significantly expanding the program by redefining affected facilities to include more employers with fewer than 1,000 employees; (2) providing exemptions for employers who are members of transportation management associations; (3) requiring transportation management associations to submit reports for their member facilities; (4) allowing consolidated reports from transportation management associations for their geographic service areas; and (5) permitting employers and associations with drive-alone rates under 75% to submit required reports every two years instead of annually. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection to consolidate and publicly release information on the statewide drive-alone rate and the percentage of affected facilities with drive-alone rates below 75%. The bill also mandates the department to issue the revised regulations within 180 days of the bill's effective date.
