3 | Roadmap | Proposed Strategies | ||||||||||||||||||
4 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Cultivate "10-minute neighborhoods" -Work through BPDA-led “PLAN” efforts -Increase requirements/incentives on developers for providing low carbon mobility options -Work through zoning code to cultivate "10 minute neighborhood" -Work to improve pedestrian and bike networks in these neighborhoods | ||||||||||||||||||
5 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Deploy parking reform -Eliminate parking minimums -Increase the cost of parking | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Create a curb use strategy -Plans for multiple low carbon mobility options -Increases efficiency in our transportation system (e.g., loading zones for rideshares) -Prepares for the needs of new transportation modes (e.g., e-scooters) | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Improve first/last mile low carbon options -Offer more options for high volume first/last mile routes -Create incentives for these trips to be taken via shared methods (e.g., rideshare pool services, carpooling, shuttles) or active transportation | ||||||||||||||||||
8 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Collaborate with rideshare services to increase shared miles over solo trips | ||||||||||||||||||
9 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Expand bus rapid transit (BRT) in Boston for priority routes and increase frequency of service and bus priority infrastructure | ||||||||||||||||||
10 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Work with employers to increase commuter incentives -Stop subsidizing parking - Discounted T and Blue Bike passes - Strengthen TDM regulations and enforcement - Commuter shuttles -Promote telecommuting | ||||||||||||||||||
11 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Launch an educational campaign about the effect of transportation/commuting on the environment, health, and safety and make sure people understand their options. This could include a citywide “car-free” day.
| ||||||||||||||||||
12 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Explore road pricing or closing options at the regional and local level for key areas | ||||||||||||||||||
13 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Provide low and no cost mobility options for low-income residents | ||||||||||||||||||
14 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Rethink road design to prioritize low carbon forms of transportation over the car
| ||||||||||||||||||
15 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Make improvements to transit system -Increase commuter rail frequency -Increase service in off-peak hours -Implement a new fare system | ||||||||||||||||||
16 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | Collaborate with surrounding cities to reduce VMT regionally and on specific projects | ||||||||||||||||||
17 | Shared Mile: Expanding & Improving Mobility Options | BPS Safe Routes to School program expansion, including BPS focus on getting more parents on board with walking to school | ||||||||||||||||||
18 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Electrify City fleets -Convert buses, vans, trucks, BRT, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, school buses, and plowing vehicles to EVs -Incentivize contractors who supply fleets to the City to provide electric vehicles | ||||||||||||||||||
19 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Launch a strategic EV charging infrastructure initiative -Install accessible charging stations at workplaces, in residential neighborhoods, by commuter rail stations, and at new developments -Conduct smart charging infrastructure planning-- ensuring charging stations are placed where we want people to drive -Improve charging systems to time-of-use charging or “quick charges” at gas station-like facilities -Conduct workforce development for installing/constructing charging stations | ||||||||||||||||||
20 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Prepare the electrical grid (and storage) for the increase in capacity needed as more and more people switch to EVs | ||||||||||||||||||
21 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Collaborate with utilities, electricians, and dealerships to provide education to the public about costs, technical requirements, and best practices | ||||||||||||||||||
22 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Incentivize EV purchase through an EV purchase program, including incentives for buying used EVs, collaboration with insurance companies, and subsidies/rebates | ||||||||||||||||||
23 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Facilitate regional collaboration around the switch to EVs. Topic ideas for discussion include: -Parking permits -Gas taxes -Lower toll costs -HOV lane access -EV-only lanes -Prioritized parking -Potential to sell extra battery storage back to the grid | ||||||||||||||||||
24 | Transition to Electric Vehicles | Promote conversion of private fleets to electric -Partner with rideshare and carshare services to increase electric car sharing by moving toward electric fleets, or providing EV request option -Work with college/universities to invest in EV fleets and infrastructure | ||||||||||||||||||
