MAPC has recently begun the update to the Regional Pedestrian Plan. The Plan will identify and recommend policies and practices to facilitate and encourage walking as a convenient, safe, and practical form of transportation throughout the 101 cities and towns of the MAPC region.

Regional Bicycle Plan
In early 2007, MAPC released the Regional Bicycle Plan, which offers strategies to increase the number of bicyclists in the region while making bicycling safer and easier. The plan, which is grounded in the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) and MAPC’s policies to support bicycle and pedestrian transportation, reviews goals set in previous bicycle plans, evaluates progress in achieving those goals, and proposes six general goals and strategies for the region.
