Transportation is the #1 challenge for reducing carbon emissions in Massachusetts. Thank you to @RepJonHecht and @Barber4StateRep for helping us tackle this problem with your bill to electrify our vehicles, clean up our air, and fight back against this climate crisis. #mapoli

Earlier this year, many residents of our communities contacted my office to express their disapproval of the sudden decision to open the HOV carpool lane on Interstate 93 to all traffic.

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) presents so many challenges for those who suffer and their families. Thank you @RepJimODay and @SenJoanLovely for raising this issue alongside Developmental Disabilities United, and great to see @RepJonHecht here as well.

Data continues to show that, yes, dedicated bus lanes work and are an efficient and low-cost way to improve commutes. We hope to see more MA cities & towns implement and expand dedicated bus lanes. wbur.org/bostonomix/2019/06/… #OurMove #mapoli

What would this bill do? It would change the way ebikes are classified, separating them from motorized bicycles and including them in different levels or classes to give municipalities more control over regulation.
