Purpose, Scope and Effect

(1) Purpose. The MBTA establishes 703 CMR 2.00 to promote revenue collection at MBTA Parking Facilities and to address public safety and other related issues associated with the illegal parking of vehicles on properties owned, maintained or controlled by the Authority, including MBTA Bus Stops. (2) Scope. 703 CMR 2.00 regulates activity, and establishes procedures, requirements, and penalties, relating to the charging of Parking Fees and the issuance and enforcement of Parking Violations at MBTA Parking Facilities and Bus Stops. A provision of 703 CMR 2.00 applies equally to each such Parking Facility and Bus Stop, whether or not the provision refers explicitly to a Parking Facility or Bus Stop, unless the provision states otherwise. 703 CMR 2.00 supersedes all previous rules and regulations with respect to the issuance and enforcement of Parking Violations at MBTA Parking Facilities and Bus Stops. (3) Effect. The headings of 703 CMR 2.00 are provided for ease of reference only and should not be used to construe its provisions. A judicial determination that a provision of 703 CMR 2.00 is unenforceable does not affect another provision of 703 CMR 2.00 unless the provisions are integrally related and cannot be severed.
