🚨 WATCH: Sen. Cynthia Creem says EVs aren’t enough—Massachusetts must limit how far you can drive, too. Her bill creates a panel to track your mileage and fine you if you go too far.
She says just walk or bike instead.

Massachusetts lawmakers are pushing a bill that could drastically limit personal vehicle use. Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem has introduced legislation that would impose fines on residents who exceed a state-mandated mileage cap. The proposal is part of a broader effort to reduce carbon emissions, but critics argue it is an attack on personal freedom and an unnecessary government overreach. This is not just about climate policy. It is a direct attempt to control how people move and live their daily lives.
The bill, known as S.2246, would require the state to track annual mileage for every registered vehicle. Drivers who exceed the limit would face financial penalties, though exemptions may apply for emergency workers and rural residents. This raises serious concerns about privacy and government surveillance. Tracking every mile driven is a slippery slope toward excessive regulation.
