The Local Assessment formula used by the CCRTA to assess member Towns for Fixed Route and Demand Response transportation is based substantially on three sections included under MGL Chapter 161b, which includes a definition of Net Cost of Service; the Local Assessment calculation under section 9A; and the State share for Contract Assistance under section 23. The Advisory Board performs its requirements under Chapter 161B and By-Laws by majority vote. The total amount of votes and corresponding voting percentage for each Town is determined by a statutory formula, which includes Local Assessments as a major component of the weighted vote calculation. The Local Assessment amounts and Weighted Votes/Percentages by Town for fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 are provided below.
