An Act to update and standardize transit definitions in the Commonwealth

This bill updates Massachusetts' official definitions for transit infrastructure to improve clarity in planning and regulations. It defines terms like "bus station" (sheltered stops on rapid transit corridors), "commuter rail station" (year-round service), "rapid transit community" (100+ acres around stations), and specific station types (subway, Silver Line, trolley). These definitions directly affect how transit agencies, local governments, and planners reference and manage infrastructure under existing laws. The bill makes no new funding or service changes - only standardizes terminology for consistency in official documents and guidelines.
