Issue Briefs

MassDOT is eager to take a proactive approach to documenting the needs of all people who travel in the Commonwealth, inclusive of the challenges and benefits our network provides. Beyond Mobility, MassDOT’s long-range transportation plan, establishes Action Item TEA2.3 “Issue briefs for traditionally underrepresented communities” as a means to identify the unique needs of transportation-vulnerable communities and the barriers they face to accessing safe and reliable transportation options. The following issue briefs are a demonstration of MassDOT’s interest in better understanding the lived experiences of the Commonwealth’s travelling public. They are intended to be informative for transportation stakeholders at-large, with a special emphasis on transportation sector decision-makers.
