The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is paving the way into the future with a long-range planning effort called Beyond Mobility: The Massachusetts 2050 Transportation Plan.
Beyond Mobility will develop a guide for transportation decision-making and investments for the next 27 years using an extensive, four-stage process:
1. Assessment: through fall 2022
2. Visioning: through summer 2022
3. Evaluation: summer 2022 through spring 2023
4. Recommendations: spring through fall 2023
A final, comprehensive plan is due to be released in the fall of 2023.
The process will include:
• Analysis of existing conditions
• Public engagement
• A statewide vision for transportation
• Scenario planning
• Site-specific needs assessments
• Financial planning
• Recommendations
Beyond Mobility seeks to advance MassDOT’s goals and maximize equity and the resiliency of the state’s transportation system. The process will include extensive public input. The planning team is now seeking to capture the public’s vision and values for transportation in the Commonwealth, as well as transportation-related needs and barriers experienced by residents.
Public input on these topics is being accepted through July 31 via the Beyond Mobility visioning survey or emails to the planning team at BeyondMobility@dot.state.ma.us.
An email update service is available.
