With a $1 million grant from the state’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program, the MPO will partner with the City of Chelsea, City of Everett, City of Framingham, and City of Revere, and the advocacy organizations WalkMass, MassBike, Bike to the Sea, and the Mystic River Watershed Association to carry out the project.

Last week, the MPO was notified that we've been awarded a $7.5M Safe Streets for All grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support the implementation of our Vision Zero Action Plan currently under development. This is in addition to the $2.7M in funding the MPO received last year to begin work on the plan. Led by our Director of Projects and Partnerships, Rebecca Morgan, and Vision Zero Program Manager, Alexandra Kleyman, AICP, MPO staff will conduct additional planning projects, crash analysis, and roadway safety audits and collaborate with municipalities to fund, design, and implement quick-build traffic calming projects such as speed humps and high-visibility crosswalks. We're grateful to have the support of U.S. Senator Ed Markey as we embark on this work to foster regional coordination and lay the groundwork for future large-scale transportation infrastructure projects aligned with Vision Zero principles.
