“Reduce the Need for Personal Vehicles”: Top Massachusetts Democrat Wants to Limit How Many Miles Residents Can Drive or Drive at All, Because ‘Climate Change’
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 25th 2025 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 05/25/2025 2:24:17 PM PDT by Jacquerie

Massachusetts Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Stone Creem (D) introduced a bill this year to create a commission with the goal of reducing the number of miles driven by residents in their cars because of ‘climate change’, with an ultimate goal to “reduce the need for personal vehicles.”

The 82-year-old Creem wants the state government to promulgate regulations that could fine residents for driving too much and force them into riding public transportation, using bikes paths and walking.

Excerpt from Bill S. 2246:

Section 81. (a) To relieve traffic congestion, improve air quality, and promote compliance with the greenhouse gas emissions limits established pursuant to chapter 21N, the secretary shall, in consultation with the secretary of economic development, the secretary of energy and environmental affairs, and the secretary of housing and livable communities, set a statewide vehicle miles traveled reduction goal for the year 2030 and for every fifth year thereafter. The vehicle miles traveled reduction goals shall be incorporated into: (i) the greenhouse gas emissions sublimits for the transportation sector set pursuant to subsection (b) of section 3A of chapter 21N; and (ii) the roadmap plans published pursuant to subsection (b) of section 3 of said chapter 21N.

Skip.

The council shall assess and report on strategies and plans necessary to reduce statewide vehicles miles traveled through the establishment of an equitable, interconnected, accessible and reliable network of non-personal vehicle transportation options and through land use policies that reduce the need for personal vehicles.

If we duct tape her nose and mouth shut it will reduce some idiocy CO2 emissions. Those are the only harmful emissions.

The old bat is crazy.

There is no such thing as “climate change.”

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Hurricanes on the way they’re comin soon
You’re all going to die in the next typhoon

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

Speaking of being the cradle of the American Revolution.....anyone else see the similarity with the promise that we are not against you having your firearms and that morphing into we are now going to take your firearms away from you? Those of the Climate change religion do want to take our cars away from us. It is for our own good....and it taking away our cars only saves one life, it will be worth it (Nope).

If every car goes driverless there will be no need for personal vehicles. Comprende? Cabish?
No registration fees, no insurance, no highway patrol. Give it a chance. Reagan did it for Star Wars.

”they want their own high speed rail to nowhere”

Fascists can’t make the trains run on time if they don’t have any trains to run.

Of course, politicians and other “important” people will be exempted from this.

No mention of penalties. What will happen when you “exceed” you state mileage limits?

Lose your license?

Deregister your car?

Confiscate your car?

Put you in stocks?

Brand you with a scarlet letter?

Hang you in Salem or crush you with rocks?
