Go Boston 2030
Go Boston 2030 envisions a city in a region where all residents have better and more equitable travel choices, where efficient transportation networks foster economic opportunity, and where the City has taken steps to prepare for climate change. This initiative is a result of suggestions from thousands of residents, setting a new norm for public engagement in long-term planning processes.
