The Comprehensive Transportation Strategy Overview

The Comprehensive Transportation Strategy has recently restarted in September 2025 and will include public outreach events scheduled for November 2025. The Strategy will identify solutions to meet Concord’s needs for transportation across a wide range of areas including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, public parking, transit, and town-wide policies. The study will also incorporate recent work related to Concord Public Works Asset Management Plan. 

Concord Mobility Goals

• Improve coordination with regional partners in order to reduce traffic volume and congestion from commuter through-traffic.
• Provide effective mobility options for trips within Concord, and to Boston and other regional medical centers and key destinations.
• Develop an approach to public and private parking that balances the principles of sustainability with the Town’s economic goals.
• Invest in targeted and effective safety improvements for all road users.
• Take steps to establish and maintain local public transit service. Research and evaluate operational and funding models in similar towns, and opportunities for cooperation with adjoining towns, regional transportation authorities, and the MBTA.
