AI Summary
This bill establishes a financing program for the construction, reconstruction, and renovation of municipal parking facilities to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The program, known as the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Matching Fund, will be administered by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and will provide reimbursement to cities and towns based on their median income, ranging from 30% to 80% of the project cost. The bill sets out performance standards that cities and towns must meet to be eligible for reimbursement, including facilitating the reduction of surface parking in downtown areas, providing affordable and accessible EV charging infrastructure in dense multifamily neighborhoods, supporting additional housing production and transit-oriented growth, and incorporating context-sensitive urban design that promotes walkability.
