Bill > H3085

This bill, titled "Relative to the Ride Service of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority," proposes to expand the service area of "The Ride," a paratransit service operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) for individuals with disabilities. Specifically, it mandates that the MBTA make The Ride's services available to residents of any community located within a 25-mile radius of Boston, enabling them to travel to Boston for medical-related purposes. The bill also stipulates that the Commonwealth's health insurance connector board, established to oversee health insurance matters, will be responsible for reimbursing the MBTA for the costs associated with providing these expanded services.
