Transportation

Bicycle and Pedestrian Networks

Promoting equitable transportation through bicycle and pedestrian access and infrastructure.

SRPEDD’s bicycle and pedestrian planning program provides a regional vision for bicycle and pedestrian transportation for Southeastern Massachusetts.

These two modes of transportation are essential to an equitable, sustainable, and healthy transportation system and therefore are given a high priority at SRPEDD. Our efforts also include targeted public outreach, partnering with local and statewide advocacy groups, and technical assistance to communities.

Recognizing the importance of these modes for people, as well as the environment and economic development, SRPEDD strives to improve access, infrastructure and conditions. To this end, our team takes an inclusive approach to transportation in all of our activities and studies, as well as mode specific studies such as our Regional Bicycle Plan and Regional Pedestrian Plan.
