Description

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and Neponset Valley Transportation Management Association (NVTMA) are planning improvements to transportation in the Neponset Valley, especially along Routes 1 and 1A. A new survey will help identify the most pressing needs for post-COVID commuters. The survey, aimed at people who live, work, or own businesses in Canton, Dedham, Foxborough, Norfolk, Norwood, Sharon, Walpole, Westwood and Wrentham, will be open until April 16, 2021. Take the survey at: http://mapc.ma/neponsetvalley. Questions focus on common pre-pandemic transportation challenges, ask whether employees will work remotely after COVID restrictions end, and gauge interest in shuttle connections from public transit to jobs. The aim of potential improvements, such as a shuttle service to nearby public transit or new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, would be to reduce traffic and make it easier for employees to reach workplaces in the Neponset Valley.
