Bill > H3635

This bill establishes a 25% toll discount for senior citizens aged 65 and older who drive on the Massachusetts Turnpike, Tobin Bridge, and Ted Williams Tunnel. To qualify, drivers must have a valid Massachusetts driver's license and own or rent the passenger vehicle they are driving. The reduction applies to only one vehicle per driver, and there is no application fee to participate. A driver's eligibility for the discount will expire 60 days after their driver's license expires, but they can renew it after license renewal. The bill includes penalties for misuse of the discount: $50 for the first violation, $100 for the second, and $150 for the third, with permanent revocation of the discount after the third violation. The executive office of transportation is responsible for creating rules to implement this toll reduction within the existing toll collection system, making transportation more affordable for seniors in Massachusetts.
