Outreach

Since its founding, the Collaborative has integrated communications with technical analysis. Our technical knowledge enables us to understand and communicate the nuances of complex transportation projects. Our approach helps improve two-way communication between clients and stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes.

As an outgrowth of the Collaborative-supported youMove Massachusetts strategic outreach program, MassDOT engaged the Collaborative, as part of a team, to develop the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the Commonwealth. For the first time, MassDOT developed a multimodal LRTP for highway, transit and rail, and aeronautics. WeMove Massachusetts (WMM) is based on scenario planning and incorporates performance management and measurement into investment decision making. The Collaborative supported outreach and engagement activities, conducted extensive internal stakeholder interviews, and prepared report materials covering bicycling, walking, and demographics.

According to US Transportation Secretary, Richard Davey, “WMM is an essential tool for realizing our GreenDOT goal of tripling travel by transit, bicycle, and walking by 2030.”
