Sustainable Mobility

Vision: a thriving transportation system that supports all modes of travel, healthy people, and a healthy and vibrant community.

Goal

Support transportation modes beyond that of single-occupancy vehicles, including:
1. Complete streets designs that support all modes of transportation
2. Transit (PVTA and FRTA buses, PVTA and Senior Services vans, Amtrak and Valley Flyer trails, Zipcar share)
3. Sidewalks, multiuse trails, sidewalks, and pedestrian infrastructure
4. Bicycle lanes and multiuse trails
5. Electric-assist ValleyBike Share (ValleyBike.org)
6. Park-and-Ride Lots, guaranteed ride home, and shared rides
7. Land use patterns that support sustainable transportation
8. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) to reduce vehicle use
9. Education and enforcement (e.g., MassBike Bike Safety Training)
