AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, in coordination with the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, to conduct a study on the impacts, benefits, and costs of a low-income fare program for the commuter rail. The study would examine the number of riders who would benefit, the average fare reduction, the impact on fare revenue, eligibility requirements, and methods for advertising the program. The report would also explore the potential for the Department of Transitional Assistance to inform MassHealth recipients about reduced fare programs. The report must be filed with the legislature by July 31, 2023.
