Complete Streets Advisory Board
Designed and operated to prioritize safety, comfort, and access to destinations for all people who use the street, especially those whose needs have not been met through a traditional transportation approach, including older adults, people living with disabilities, people who cannot afford or do not have access to a car. Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, walk to shops, jobs, and schools, bicycle to work, and move actively with assistive devices. They allow buses to run on time and make it safe for people to walk or move actively to and from train stations. Complete Streets improve equity, safety, and public health, while reducing transportation costs and traffic woes. Complete Streets benefit all users!
