One Year Later: The Future of Transportation Commission @ Suffolk University Sargent Hall
Dec 16 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

One Year Later:

Reflecting on the Future of Transportation Commission report and what lies ahead for the Commonwealth

One year ago, Governor Baker’s Commission on the Future of Transportation released its recommendations for how to prepare the Massachusetts transportation network for the challenges of 2040. The report explored everything from the impacts of climate change to the rise of autonomous and electric vehicle technology to adopting transit-oriented land use policies.
Join us to hear members of the Commission, Mayor Kim Driscoll of Salem, and other transportation leaders reflect on the past year and consider what opportunities lie ahead to create a robust and resilient transportation system for the Commonwealth.
Coffee and networking will begin at 10:00 a.m., and the speaking portion will run from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
More details and agenda to come!

DLTA is a unique program in the state budget that enables MAPC and our sister regional planning agencies in Massachusetts to provide cities and towns with the technical assistance they need to take on necessary projects which they don’t have the capacity to address on their own, and to partner with neighboring communities to tackle shared projects with reduced administrative burden.  

DLTA Day is your chance to learn more about this critical program which helps all of our communities plan for and implement a better future.

Learn more about DLTA and MAPC’s Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) request for an increase of $3.4 million in funding for the program.
