Bill > H3780

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), in collaboration with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, to develop and implement a comprehensive program aimed at preventing and reducing wrong-way driving incidents on limited-access highways within the state. The program may encompass a range of strategies, including deploying new highway safety technologies, implementing capital improvement projects, and modifying highway design and traffic control device guidelines. By June 30, 2026, MassDOT must submit a detailed report to the state legislature's transportation and ways and means committees, which will include a projected budget and a timeline for implementing these safety measures. Additionally, the program's details must be made publicly accessible on the department's website, ensuring transparency and allowing the public to understand the state's efforts to address the dangerous issue of wrong-way driving.
