The only way this would work and NOT screw people over, is for businesses (with the ability to), would either have to give raises to cover travel costs or allow people to work remotely to not encur extra taxes.  This will essentially hit corporations the hardest, not the people.  People will use this as a bargaining chip for raises. if they're smart.

As I suspected, if passed, the bill would not be mandatory.

"Goals, not mandates." Massachusetts State Senator says driving limits not part of legislation

BY Spectrum News Staff Worcester PUBLISHED 8:21 AM ET Jan. 12, 2026

In the Massachusetts State Senate bill S.2246 is currently moving through the legislative process. The bill, presented by Cynthia Stone Creem (D) - Norfolk and Middlesex, is titled "An Act aligning the commonwealth's transportation plans with its mandates and goals for reducing emissions and vehicle miles traveled." One of the petitioners of the legislation is State Senator Robyn Kennedy (D) - First Worcester. State Senator Kennedy told Spectrum News 1 that the bill addresses two important items. Kennedy, "One, it acknowledges that we're facing a climate crisis and car emissions are one of the leading factors driving the crisis that we're in. And so what it does is seeks to bring experts together to say, what are the goals we should be looking at to reduce driving. And I want to be clear on that goals, not mandates."

Kennedy continued by saying the second item of importance is the bill addresses the imbalance of public transportation funding for Greater Boston. "The other really important thing that this bill does is it pulls together a commission to talk about outside of Boston, which has the privilege of having reliable public transportation. Central and Western Mass, which may look very different than what's happening in Boston, to make sure that our drivers have alternative, feasible, reliable public transportation, other modes of transportation, so that they can choose to reduce the time that they spend in their vehicles."

Kennedy stressed that this bill will aim to set goals, not limit the citizens of the Commonwealth's driving miles. "That's the purpose of this bill, is to bring together and to set what is feasible, what are feasible goals, looking at things like vehicle miles traveled, which is a litmus that's used all over the country to determine how much time people spend behind the wheel of their cars. And so it does not right now prescribe, it does not set to prescribe any specific goals. It's about bringing together experts to say, you know, what should those goals look like But by first saying, what do we need to make sure that it's feasible to achieve those goals?"

You are right. That is you.

Any mention of a gay man or a lesbian is irresistible bait for you to make an anti-LGBTQ slur. 

You hate LGBTQ folks as you have proven once again.

Why create a bill that is only a "goal"?  What a huge waste.
