Massachusetts S2303 proposes a study on expanding the commuter rail and ferry low-income fare program.

Massachusetts S2303 mandates the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, to conduct a study on the impacts, benefits, and costs of a low-income fare program for commuter rail and ferry services. The study will focus on reduced or discounted fares for qualifying riders aged 25-65, examining factors such as the number of beneficiaries, fare reductions, and overall revenue impact. It will also explore eligibility models, verification methods, and advertising strategies.
