Successful Rally for Low Income Fares!

It was really great seeing some our partners from Public Transit Public Good and Transit is Essential gathered for a low-income fare rally on Monday. The presence of everyone there brought home the point that low-income fare is not only an equity goal, but also a climate justice imperative. As Mayor Wu said at the rally, "Every investment now is a down payment on our future." A low-income fare can help alleviate the financial burden of transit mobility now, while ensuring a positive mode shift for the future.

ICYMI: We Released a Report on Dismantling Law Enforcement’s Role in Traffic Safety

There is a man standing in the crosswalk, waiting for cars to let him cross; alongside the traffic lanes are separated, bi-direcitonal bike lanes, and a row of thin trees separates the bike lane from the sidewalk.

In case you missed it, on April 13th we released our latest report: Dismantling Law Enforcement's Role in Traffic Safety: A Roadmap for Massachusetts. This report offers a vision, provides a framework for moving toward traffic safety without police, and offers recommendations for municipalities, state agencies, and elected officials. You can check out the full report here.

We also hosted an event the evening of the release that explored this report, other recent research on the role of policing and prosecution in traffic enforcement, and answered questions from the audience. Keep an eye on the GBH website - they'll be posting the video soon!
