Maximize Mode Shift from Single Occupancy Vehicles and Transition to Zero Emission Vehicles

Chief Cook

To reach carbon neutrality, Boston must maximize mode shift from single

  • ccupancy vehicles to shared and

active modes, and transition all remaining vehicles on the roads to electric or other zero-emission vehicles

  • ver the next 30 years.

Our Number one Goal is Mode Shift

Chief Cook

In a carbon-neutral Boston, many more people will travel to and around the city by using public transit, biking, or walking, all of which release little to no carbon per trip compared with cars. The City’s targets include cutting drive-alone trips by more than half, increasing public transit ridership by more than a third, increasing biking rates fourfold, and doubling walking rates.

Increasing Access for Multi-Modal Trips

Chief Cook

60% of all residents in Boston in 2019 were within a 10 minute walk

Making it Safer and More Comfortable to Walk and Bike

Chief Cook

Walking and biking are becoming safer in neighborhoods with the implementation of 15 Neighborhood Slow Streets Zones designed to calm traffic on residential streets. The City continues to build out a connected bike network, building 15 miles

  • f protected bike lanes making biking

more accessible to all ages and abilities.

Expanding Access to Blue Bikes

Chief Cook

50 new bike share stations will be added in

  • 2019. This expansion brings bike share to

new parts of West Roxbury, Roslindale, and Dorchester. In September Blue Bikes celebrated its 10 Millionth trip. Ridership is at an all time high, with the the highest single-day ridership occurring recently, with more than 13,000 trips.

Creating Policies to Manage and License Shared Micromobility Services

Chief Cook

The world of shared micromobility is changing at a rapid pace. The era of shared dockless bikes has been replaced by shared dockless e-scooters and new devices are introduced almost daily. The City of Boston is working towards policies to regulate and license such devices while measuring the value added and potential impacts they will have on our transportation network.

Implementing Bus Priority Lanes and Improving Service

The Transportation Department established its first ever Transit Team in 2019. They have been hard at work establishing bus priority lanes in key areas where congestion disrupts bus headway times and improving bus service in communities that lack access to subway lines.

Expanding Access to Car Share Services

Chief Cook

The City is expanding access to car share services and adding over 200 dedicated parking spaces on-street and in Municipally owned parking lots. This will make it easier for residents to complete multi-modal trips without having to own a personal vehicle.

Creating Seamless Transitions Between Modes by Piloting Neighborhood Mobility Hubs

In 2020 The City of Boston will pilot Neighborhood Mobility Hubs. Mobility Hubs will co-locate modal

  • ptions and make it easier to

travel around the City by whatever mode helps you get to your destination.
