Massachusetts Bill Aims to Reduce Vehicle Miles to Meet Climate Goals

A bill advancing through the Massachusetts State House seeks to reduce the miles residents travel in personal vehicles to meet state climate mandates. Filed by State Senator Cynthia Stone-Creem (D-Norfolk & Middlesex), the legislation would require the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to establish goals for reducing statewide driving miles. The bill draws inspiration from existing laws in Colorado and Minnesota and aims to align Massachusetts with its climate commitments.
