Introduced Text

Explores alternative funding sources for Massachusetts transportation by piloting a mileage-based user fee.

The bill establishes a vehicle mileage user fee task force to explore alternative funding sources for Massachusetts transportation. The task force will guide the development and evaluation of a pilot program to assess the potential for mileage-based revenue collection as an alternative to the current system of taxing highway use through motor vehicle fuel taxes. The pilot program will test the reliability, ease of use, cost, and public acceptance of technology and methods for counting and reporting vehicle miles traveled and collecting payments.
