Establishing a working group to study fossil fuel subsidies and fare-free public transportation impacts.

The bill requests the Department of Transportation to establish a Fossil Fuel Subsidy and Fare-Free Transit Fiscal Impact Working Group. The group will quantify federal fossil fuel subsidies, estimate the "true cost" of gasoline without these subsidies, determine the cost of fare-free public transportation, and provide policy recommendations. The working group will include representatives from various state departments and county public transportation agencies. The group will submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature before the 2027 session.
