An Act to establish free access to ride to elections in Massachusetts (FARE)
This bill requires Massachusetts public transit systems (including the MBTA and regional authorities) to offer free rides on all fixed-route rapid transit, bus, and trolleybus services on the day of biennial state primary and general elections. It directly affects voters who use these transit services on election days by eliminating fare costs. The key provision mandates that transit authorities must waive all fares on specified election days, as stated in the bill text. This policy change applies to all eligible fixed-route transit services operating on election days under Massachusetts law.
