An Act to establish free access to rides to elections in Massachusetts (FARE)

SD 1843 requires Massachusetts public transit systems (including the MBTA and regional authorities) to offer free rides on fixed-route bus, trolleybus, and rapid transit services on the day of every biennial state primary and general election. It directly affects voters who use these transit services to reach polling locations on election days. The bill prohibits transit authorities from charging fares for these specific services on election days, eliminating a cost barrier for voters. This policy change applies to all state-level elections held every two years under the current election schedule.
