Read the Draft Mobility Action Plan
The Mobility Action Plan for Safe, Equitable and Sustainable Transportation (Mobility Action Plan) is a long-range transportation plan that guides the Worcester Department of Transportation & Mobility (DTM) in execution of identified policies, programs, strategies and projects to improve the City's transportation system. The Mobility Action Plan is based on the guiding vision that the City of Worcester's transportation network should support people of all ages and abilities with safe, equitable and sustainable mobility choices.
The Mobility Action Plan identifies challenges and opportunities within Worcester's existing transportation system and includes 46 recommended strategies for the City of Worcester to initiate and execute.
The strategies all aim to improve and advance mobility for Worcester's community through the conversion of roadways to Complete Streets, elimination of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, removal of inequitable transportation barriers and collaborative work across City departments.
Build and operate safe streets for everyone. Fatalities and serious injuries on Worcester's roads are unacceptable.
Better walking, biking and transit can provide people with affordable ways to get around and meet their daily needs.
Giving people more mobility options other than driving alone will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Getting to a safe, sustainable and equitable transportation network will require careful planning and coordination. This plan will help us to identify projects, policies, and other actions that will result in both short and long-term progress in accomplishing the following:
Due to an expected snowstorm, a Declared Winter Parking Ban for the City of Worcester will go into effect at 12 a.m. (midnight) Thursday, Dec. 5.
