An Act relative to greener and healthier transportation corridors
This bill creates a special commission to study how to make transportation corridors (like roads and highways) cleaner and greener. The commission, including state climate, transportation, and environmental officials plus community experts, will examine using corridor land for natural pollution reduction (noise, air, light), carbon sequestration, and low-carbon energy generation. It will analyze the costs of new natural solutions versus current practices and review agency maintenance and design methods. The commission must report findings and draft legislation by December 31, 2026, to the relevant legislative committees. This bill does not implement changes but mandates a study to inform future policy.
