Massachusetts Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem introduced Bill S2246, which sets vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction targets by 2030, enforced through fines and regulations to combat climate change. The bill prioritizes public transit, biking and walking over private car use, requiring transportation plans to align with emissions goals. Critics argue the plan disproportionately affects rural residents who rely on cars due to limited transit options and longer commutes, with State Sen. Michael Barrett highlighting an "unintentional bias" against these communities.
