A communication from the Department of Transportation (see item 1596-2406 of Section 2 of Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023) submitting the final report of the MBTA Fare Free Pilot Program for regional transit authorities

HD 4681 is a procedural bill that transmits the final report of the MBTA Fare Free Pilot Program to the Massachusetts legislature. It directly affects state legislators and transportation authorities by providing the Department of Transportation's official documentation on the pilot's outcomes. The bill does not create new policy but formally submits the report for legislative review, as required by prior legislation (Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023). This submission allows lawmakers to assess the pilot's impact on regional transit ridership and funding.
