An Act to create a net-zero transportation financing commission

This bill establishes a special commission to study how Massachusetts can finance its transportation system to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The commission will investigate pricing strategies for public transit, roads, and congestion, while also considering the need to upgrade infrastructure to withstand climate change. Members of the commission will be appointed by the governor, state legislators, and various industry and public interest groups to ensure diverse expertise. The group is tasked with developing recommendations for a sustainable funding model that balances climate goals with the financial realities of the state's transportation needs.
