SECTION 1. Chapter 6C of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following section:-

Section 76. (a) The department and any city, town, district or other political subdivision of the commonwealth shall allocate reasonable space and accommodations for motorcycle parking in all transportation facilities, parking facilities, and related projects undertaken or operated by them, where any federal, state or local public funds have been used to plan, design, construct, equip, operate or maintain such facility or project.  The department and any city, town, district or other political subdivision may satisfy the requirement of this subsection by sectioning off portions of an area that does not meet spacing requirements for the parking of full-size motor vehicles to be used for motorcycle parking.

(b) The department and any city, town, district or other political subdivision of the commonwealth shall not impose a prohibition or a requirement that applies only to a motorcycle, motorcycle operator or motorcycle passenger, the primary purpose of which is to restrict or inhibit access of a motorcycle, motorcycle operator or motorcycle passenger to any highway, bridge, tunnel, public way or transportation facility.

(c) The department and any city, town, district or other political subdivision of the commonwealth shall not develop any general or fiscal policy, promulgate any regulations, allocate any funds, or plan, design, construct, equip, operate or maintain any transportation facility, parking facility, or related structure throughout the commonwealth in a manner that discriminates against motorcycles, motorcycle operators or motorcycle passengers.
