Massachusetts S2404 explores alternative funding sources for transportation by piloting a vehicle mileage user fee.

Massachusetts S2404 establishes a task force to explore alternative funding sources for transportation, focusing on a vehicle mileage user fee. The task force will guide the development and evaluation of pilot programs to assess a user fee based on miles traveled. These pilots will analyze technology and methods for counting miles, protecting privacy, and varying pricing. The Department of Transportation will implement the pilots, gather public comment, and report results to the General Court within three years. The bill also seeks federal funding for the pilot program.
