Quote »Mass. May Give Hybrids More BenefitsThe State of Massachusetts may become the leader in benefits awarded to drivers of hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicles. Lawmakers in the commonwealth are deciding whether to give an additional $2000 in tax breaks to those drivers, along with free toll transponders and access to the state's HOV lanes. The AP adds that the law being considered in the state Senate would require half of the state's fleet vehicles to run on alternative fuels by 2010. Ten million dollars would also be set aside to help local municipalities switch over to alternative-fuel vehicles. The recent federal energy bill extended the tax credit for hybrid and clean-diesel vehicles. Source: http://www.thecarconnection.co....html
