Messrs. deMacedo, Eldridge and Tarr moved that the proposed new text be amended by adding the following new section:-

"SECTION XX. Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA), when setting daily parking rates at any bus, ferry, commuter rail, or subway station shall charge one rate for one calendar day of parking.  A calendar day shall be defined as 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. of the same calendar day.  The MBTA shall not charge a separate higher rate for parking based on the amount of time a rider has parked if the entrance and exit to the parking facility occur on the same calendar day. The MBTA may charge lower rates based on the day of the week."
