And if we just have something that's parked there on a fairly consistent basis, uh, that takes up limited spaces, I think that we may get a little bit of pushback on that. So that's one thing I want to, and I don't wanna say yes or no, but I want that to be part of the consideration. Uh, the one that I'm a little more concerned about is the rail transit stations. Uh, I'm not sure, uh, Madam Chair, if this has been, if we've approached the MBTA, but if they have a certain control over those parking spots that we need to go and talk to them about, that's something else that, uh, I would wanna explore.

So what does that really look like? And, and how can we facilitate and manage that? You know, are there certain periods, I, I would think the times of day that they would wanna be there are morning and evening.

And so my suggestion to, to consider, and maybe it already has been considered, is to have some, some form of a discounted rebate for local businesses within the annual licensing. Right? So that way, if it, if they're in town, they get a little bit of a, some kind of a benefit because they're, they're doing it locally. It's, um, just, I, I'm putting that out there as an idea only.

What are we doing at the state level to understand the different scenarios? Because you had mentioned that other states are facing these kind of situations and I imagine they're, they may be in different, um, stages of their journey in terms of trying to figure it all out.
