What is happening?
The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public on changes to bus stops and crosswalks associated with bus stops at select locations through out the Commonwealth. Public comment and concerns are being solicited and will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.
How will this affect you?
The 2023 Massachusetts Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment found that 40% of pedestrian crashes resulting in fatal or serious injury occurred within 300 ft of a bus stop. This initial phase of locations focused on bus stops on state-owned roadways where safety countermeasures could be implemented quickly. These safety improvements include upgrading curb ramps to ADA standards, adding of refreshing crosswalk striping, constructing pedestrian crossing islands or curb extensions, visibility improvements, and rectangular rapid flashing beacons with crosswalk lights.
