Massachusetts vehicles that skip the excise tax

Massachusetts drivers know the sting of the annual excise tax—2.5% of your vehicle’s value, no matter how you pay for it. But here’s something that might surprise you: not every vehicle on the road gets hit with this fee. Trains, trolleys, wheelchairs, and even motorized bikes are completely exempt. With more bike lanes popping up and alternative transportation growing, it’s worth asking—should the tax system change as our streets do? How do you feel about who pays for the roads in your community? #Transportation #Massachusetts #ExciseTax
