Vision Zero

A data-driven approach to traffic safety that is designed to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries for all modes.


Snow clearance

There is much to be done to improve sidewalk, curb ramp, bus stop, and traffic island snow shoveling to make Massachusetts pedestrian-friendly year round.


Wayfinding

Wayfinding signs can give people clear information about walking routes and walking times to reach key destinations.


Running 

Runners use the same sidewalks and paths as walkers, and also have a special need for safer access to and from Massachusetts’ parkway and park systems.
