HD 3076 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to establishing the gateway city public school driver education program

This bill creates a dedicated trust fund to support driver education in public schools within Massachusetts' "gateway cities" (defined as municipalities with specific economic criteria). The fund, financed by 1% of driver's license fees, will cover tuition costs for low-income students attending driver education courses offered during school hours or evenings at public high schools in these cities. Schools must enroll residents of gateway municipalities, and the fund ensures unspent money rolls over annually instead of returning to the general state budget. The program aims to make driver education affordable for students in economically disadvantaged communities.
