Governor’s Commission on the Future of Transportation Listening Sessions

05/21/2018

Governor Charlie Baker has created a Commission on the Future of Transportation in the Commonwealth to explore anticipated changes in technology, climate, land use, and the economy, and advise the Administration on factors likely to impact transportation between 2020 and 2040. This work will be conducted through a robust grounding in facts and trends, development of plausible future scenarios, and formulation of recommendations to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other key decision makers.  
 
The Commission, in partnership with MassDOT and the UMass Transportation Center, is hosting a series of five listening sessions to capture ideas and discuss policy, and take questions and comments.  Members of the public are invited to attend and share their thoughts.
