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.

Watch what happens when it is enforced in the winter. You’ll have another revolution.
I’d love to see 82 yr old Sen. Creem biking to work down Boylston St on a cold January morning...
The Bolshevik Red Guards are at it again
Tell her to stay the hell out of Texas..
Ironside drove that ugly Ford van with them in a few episodes.
She and I are the same age but it looks like she rides the bus to a beauty salon on a frequent basis. At her age, she likely does not drive much these days. I used to drive 25,000 miles a year, and my wife drove around 7,000. Now, we both are retired, we gave up one car and are down to only one car. Our combined mileage last year was all of 3,000. Old people simply do not have to drive much, and that idiot is an old woman who needs to be retired from the MA legislature.
Shut off the old bag’s natural gas line for a couple of weeks in the winter.
The 82-year-old Creem wants the state...
To regulate the lives of the living while she passes into the eternities. How kind and generous of the old gal.
Don’t forget they tax you for the privilege of control.
I swear that photo looks like every HOA leadership, two Karens who would give Adolph a run for his money when it comes to controlling the little people (which is everyone but them).
@cindycreem
I think Blue States and cities should refuse to issue driver licenses and refuse to honor other licenses - in 5 years, they will be empty ruins and the rest of us can get on with our lives...
It’s 196 miles to my nearest Amtrak station...
“The NE states were full of British loyalists and their descendants carry on the tradition of wanting to be ruled. That’s what happened and is happening.”
No. Maybe 10% tops in New England. That’s why the British left and tried NY, Philadelphia, and later the southern colonies. There were more loyalists in those areas.
They had one with the “big dig” unfortunately it actually finished. No more cost overruns 😢😢
I lumped them all in with NY and Philly. Those suckers spread out over the following decades like crazy in the NE. After all they are right next the each other.
That was truly massive- they did a special on it- wow- quite an unddrtaking and history with hte water- but yeah, it was a massive $$ project, as was the cleanign pcp’s fro mthe hudson river
“Those suckers spread out over the following decades like crazy in the NE. “
Huh? Most of them left for Canada in 1783.
Freaking Luddites are among us.
Property value will plummet as people get out of the state.
