Massachusetts H3633 establishes a fund for public transit expansion, electrification, and resiliency.

Massachusetts H3633 creates the Massachusetts Transportation and Environment Equity Fund to finance public transit expansion, electrification, and resiliency. The fund will receive proceeds from various fees, including a green fee, emissions fee, car rental fee, and parking rental fee. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will rank projects based on criteria like air quality improvements, economic benefits, and environmental justice. MassDOT must also prepare land use corridor plans to maximize project benefits and prevent sprawl.
