Massachusetts Bicycle Transportation Plan 2019
The Bicycle Transportation Plan and its companion document, the Municipal Resource Guide for Bikeability, represent MassDOT’s continued commitment to multimodalism, to investing in infrastructure that supports biking and walking and transit, and to partnering with municipalities to build complete streets.
Complete Streets
Complete Streets are roadways that safely and comfortably accommodate all users, regardless of age and ability or mode of transportation. Users include, but are not limited to: motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, public transportation riders and providers, emergency response vehicles, and school buses.
Safe Routes to School
SRTS is a free, federally funded program administered by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation that works to increase safe walking, biking, and rolling among public elementary, middle, and high school students. They use a collaborative, community-focused approach that bridges the gap between health and transportation.
You can find out if your city or town is in the Safe Routes to School program by visiting the resource page on the SRTS website. The SCBA is a Safe Routes to School Alliance Partner. The SRTS Program Guide can be viewed here.
