Bill > H3615

This bill proposes establishing a special commission to study the feasibility and cost of implementing a ferry service to Long Island in Boston Harbor. The commission would be composed of 10 members, including 2 representatives (one from the minority party), 2 senators (one from the minority party), the secretary of transportation, the commissioner of public safety, and 5 additional members appointed by the governor (including nominees from the mayors of Boston and Quincy). The commission's primary task will be to analyze existing ferry services in Massachusetts, estimate the potential costs of creating a new ferry route to Long Island, and develop recommendations for implementation. Members of the commission can elect a chair to lead their investigation, and they will conduct a comprehensive study to determine the practicality and financial implications of establishing this new transportation service.
