This bill is intended to explore alternative funding sources to ensure safe and reliable transportation in Massachusetts. It establishes a Vehicle Mileage User Fee Task Force to guide the development and evaluation of a pilot program to assess the potential for mileage-based revenue collection as an alternative to the current motor vehicle fuel tax. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to develop and implement one or more statewide pilot programs to assess owners of motor vehicles a user fee based on the number of miles traveled. The pilot programs will test various technologies and methods for counting, reporting, and collecting mileage-based fees, while also analyzing their ability to protect data integrity, ensure driver privacy, and adjust pricing based on various factors. The Department of Transportation is required to report the initial results of the pilot study to the state legislature within three years, including an evaluation of the feasibility and impacts of a permanent vehicle mileage user fee.
