The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority shall create and administer an 18-month pilot program allowing for the in-person payment of daily parking fees without the use of a mobile telephone at the parking lots owned and operated by the authority at the Canton Junction, Canton Center and Stoughton commuter rail stations. To administer the program, the authority shall install and maintain for at least 18 months, at each location, 2 automated payment machines that allow customers to make in-person payment for daily parking fees by cash or credit card without the use of a mobile telephone or any other portable electronic device. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority shall file a report on the efficacy of the pilot program with the clerks of the senate and house of representatives and the house and senate chairs of the joint committee on transportation. The report shall include an estimate of the percentage of parking fees collected at each location under the pilot program and make recommendations, if any, for the need to install and maintain similar automated payment machines at other parking lots owned and operated by the authority. The report shall be filed no sooner than 12 months after initiation of the pilot program but not later than 18 months after initiation.
