Environmental, Social, and Governance at MassDOT

At MassDOT, we believe that transportation is important for what it does (allows people to access destinations and opportunities), not for what it is (pavement and vehicles). People—and the quality of travel that all of us experience—are at the center of all our work. The Environmental, Social, and Governance team, located within MassDOT's Office of Transportation Planning (OTP), focuses on transportation vulnerability and security, destination accessibility, and land use and housing.

Many of our planning studies center these themes as primary goals of the work, and we are committed to leveraging as many tools, datasets, public outreach and engagement resources, and other opportunities as possible to further the usefulness of our transportation network for as many people as possible, with special consideration towards communities that are particularly vulnerable and reliant on our services.
