(b) The Chief Court Administrator may establish policies and procedures for the maintenance of order and the use of parking areas on any property under the supervision, care and control of the Chief Court Administrator. Such policies and procedures may provide that any vehicle parked on such property in violation of such policies and procedures shall be towed.

(c) Each state agency shall develop a program to encourage its employees to use mass transportation. Such program shall address the feasibility of restricting the amount of free parking by at least ten per cent for those state employees who work in urban areas and for providing such employees with subsidies to ride mass transportation.

For the purposes of this subsection, “state agency” means each state department, office or other agency of the state; and “urban area” means any town or city having a population of seventy-five thousand or more or any town or city in which one hundred or more state employees are employed at the same site. The Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, in consultation with the Commissioner of Administrative Services, shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, after receipt of and pursuant to each state agency’s plan to determine the amount and process by which a state employee may obtain a subsidy.
