Establishes a fund to finance construction of parking structures with EV charging stations in Massachusetts.
This bill creates a financing program for the construction, reconstruction, and renovation of municipal parking facilities to provide electric vehicle charging stations. The program, called the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Matching Fund, will reimburse cities and towns for a portion of the project costs, based on the city or town's median income. The fund aims to promote electric vehicle equity, reduce surface parking in downtown areas, and support transit-oriented growth. Cities and towns must submit a financing plan for certification by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
