AI Summary
This bill establishes the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) Trust Fund, which will be administered by the Department of Transportation in consultation with the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The fund will receive proceeds from the auction of carbon dioxide allowances under the TCI program, a regional cap-and-invest program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. At least 70% of the annual proceeds must be used to benefit underserved communities with environmental justice populations, defined based on factors like median household income, racial composition, and access to natural resources. The remaining proceeds will be deposited into the Commonwealth Transportation Fund. The bill also creates an Equity Advisory Body to provide recommendations on how to implement the TCI program to benefit environmental justice communities.
