Bill > S2200

This bill aims to regulate the transportation of railroad crews in Massachusetts. It defines "contract crew transportation vehicles" as those used by third-party contractors to transport railroad employees, and "passenger-carrying vehicles" as those owned and operated by railroad companies. The bill grants the Rail and Transit Division of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation the authority to promulgate regulations for contract crew transportation vehicles, including driver qualifications, safety equipment, and insurance requirements. It also requires contract crew transportation providers to ensure their drivers complete at least 4 hours of Division-approved safety training. Additionally, the bill allows the Division to investigate safety complaints and take enforcement action, and to deny, suspend, or revoke the ability of a person or company to provide contract railroad crew transportation under certain circumstances.
