Identifying Next Steps

Partnerships

Ensuring that your community’s streets are a safe, active, accessible, and well-connected will require policy, systems and environmental change. Consider partnering with local, regional, and statewide groups with shared common goals. These could include:

• Regional Planning Agencies

• Regional Transit Authorities

• MassDOT District Staff

• Regional Coordinating Councils

• DCR

• Municipal officials and committee members (Traffic, DPW, Engineering, Planning, Center on Aging, Disabilities Commission, Community Development)

• Local Walk/Bike Advocates and Committees

• Local groups of older adults, people with disabilities, BIPOC, and others who may be interested in increasing mobility, active transportation, and/or street safety
