Bill > S2108

This bill aims to reduce congestion and encourage shared rides. It establishes a rider assessment for different types of rides, with a lower rate for shared rides and a higher rate for luxury rides. The bill creates the Transit Authority Fund, where 50% of the rider assessment revenue will be allocated to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and the regional transit authorities. The remaining 50% will be distributed to municipalities based on the number of rides originating in each city or town, to be used for transportation infrastructure and other related projects. The bill also sets reporting requirements for municipalities receiving more than $25,000 from the fund to ensure transparency in the use of the funds.
