Massachusetts S2009 allows cities and towns to implement regional transportation ballot initiatives.
Massachusetts S2009 establishes a framework for cities and towns to implement regional transportation ballot initiatives. The bill allows municipalities to form districts and impose a tax surcharge on a single subject of taxation, such as sales, real or personal property tax. The surcharge funds are to be used for transportation projects, including public transit, roads, and bikeways. A transportation committee studies transportation needs and recommends projects to the governing body.
