For legislation relative to tolls on the roadways of the Commonwealth. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate tolls on the roadways of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It proposes to: (1) prohibit any increase in toll rates from the rates in place on January 1, 2017; (2) allow the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to reduce, rather than fix and revise, toll rates; and (3) remove the requirement for toll rates to be set at a minimum level to cover certain costs. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Transportation to study the feasibility of establishing all-electric tolling along state and interstate highways that are not currently tolled, and to report on options for implementing additional tolls, including seeking federal waivers and interstate/regional agreements.
