In support of The Healthy Transportation Policy and in response to the establishment of Massachusetts General Law (MGL) Chapter 90I, through Chapter 79 of the Acts of 2014 (Transportation Bond Bill), MassDOT has established a funding program to encourage municipalities to regularly and routinely include Complete Streets design elements and infrastructure on locally-funded roads. MassDOT has allocated $12.5 million for the first two years of the program, and plans to accept its first applications for funding early-2016. Funding source and amount beyond FY17 will be determined based on the success of the program. For application guidance, documents and access to the program portal, please visit:

A topic that has come up a few times recently at selectmen meetings is this program. As you can see, there was not much money put aside for this item. The links provide information so citizens can have an idea of what this program is about, if by chance you choose to attend a meeting, you can have material and possibly come up with questions to ask.
