Bill > S1704

This bill aims to freeze the tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike and the Metropolitan Highway System by amending Chapter 6C of the General Laws. Specifically, it mandates that tolls collected for transit over these systems must be set at the rates that were in place on January 1, 2008, effectively preventing any future increases. The bill also removes language that previously allowed for the fixing and revising of these tolls and eliminates provisions that linked toll adjustments to ensuring sufficient funds for maintenance, repair, operation, and debt repayment for both the turnpike and the metropolitan highway system.
