For legislation to establish a commuter pass program for users of the Massachusetts Turnpike. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) create a commuter tolling program for frequent, non-commercial users of the Massachusetts Turnpike, also known as the Mass Pike. Participants in the electronic toll collection system will be able to purchase an annual pass for discounted travel on specific sections of the turnpike, with different "commuter zones" having varying annual rates ranging from $50 to $145, depending on the exits covered. Importantly, eligibility for this program will not depend on the number of occupants in a vehicle, and the toll rate will not change based on occupancy.
