Establishes a surcharge for delivery network companies to support small businesses and underserved communities.

The bill introduces a surcharge on delivery network companies to fund small businesses and Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. It sets per-delivery assessments for food, goods, alcohol, and marijuana deliveries. Funds will be split, with 50% going to the MBTA and at least 10% for waterfront transportation, fare-free bus transportation, and the low-income fare program. Exemptions apply to prescription medicine, medical devices, and items subject to equity programs.
