Transportation for Massachusetts (T4MA), established in 2010, is a statewide coalition focused on improving Massachusetts’ transportation systems. T4MA is committed to addressing the decades of inequitable transportation policies adversely impacting low-income, working class, Black, indigenous and communities of color.
T4MA works towards a Commonwealth with transportation systems that connect people with their choice of housing, economic opportunities, healthcare, and accessible and reliable public transportation that benefits residents in all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts. Our coalition advocates at the federal, state, and local levels for transportation policies that are just, safe, reliable, accessible, equitable and affordable.

Join Us at the Boston City Council Snow Removal Hearing!

The Boston City Council is having a hearing on snow removal on Tuesday, March 3rd, at 2pm.

Since the storm in January, the City of Boston has already logged over 6,000 snow-related complaints. Since then we have had more snow events, piling onto the safety and accessibility concerns.

Often, roads are cleared for drivers but the reality on the ground for pedestrians is dangerously icy and unworkable. When we don’t clear the paths, we shut neighbors out of the conversation.

T4MA, along with members of the Transit is Essential coalition and the Shared Spaces advocacy group, will be attending the upcoming hearing to offer public testimony. We are inviting YOU to join us, to share your concerns with the City and your councilors.

Let your voice be heard!

Boston Transportation Advocates Respond to Proposed Cuts to Transportation Department Operating Budget

“These cuts to the City’s transportation personnel move Boston in the wrong direction at a time when we should be accelerating efforts to make our streets safer and commutes better. The staff at risk of losing their jobs fix our most dangerous intersections, improve pedestrian crossings near schools and health centers, and optimize our traffic signals to reduce delay for drivers and riders alike. Their work reduces crashes, saves lives, and connects us all. 

By impairing Boston’s ability to advance critical transportation projects, these cuts also threaten Boston’s ability to compete for state and federal transportation funding. These cuts may save money today, but they risk leaving tens of millions of  dollars on the table tomorrow.

We strongly urge BTD to investigate all possible alternatives to layoffs in order to preserve critical staff to keep our streets safe and continue projects we know are necessary to keep our city moving.”
