Transportation

What we do

The quality of life and economic vitality of Massachusetts is dependent upon a strong transportation infrastructure. MAPC works on promoting sustainable transportation projects and policies in many ways: providing planning support to the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); corridor planning and land use studies; projects that increase access to bicycle and pedestrian modes of transportation; providing technical assistance; coordinating transportation funding programs; and advocating for transportation finance reform.
