Project Background

From 2023 to 2024 SRPEDD worked with the City of Taunton to create a Transportation, Land Use and Economic Development plan for Route 140 from the Taunton Green to Industrial Drive. The study and resulting report aim to support the City’s ongoing transportation and community development goals. The project also served as a method for Taunton to work towards complying with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’s MBTA Communities Multi-Family Zoning Requirements.

Though this webpage is no longer active, it remains a source for all information about how the Corridor Study was conducted.

About the Corridor

The Route 140 Corridor study area begins in Taunton's historic Downtown and ends at the Route 24 interchange. The study area consists of four unique "focus areas," each representing the breadth of uses and built environments along the corridor. They are:

Downtown Taunton;
The Wild & Scenic Taunton River;
Harts Four Corners; and
The Future TOD District.

Route 140 features a variety of commercial enterprises, educational facilities, residential neighborhoods, and important environmental resources. The Corridor Study Area is just under 2 square miles in size and consists of 3 miles of roadway.
