Please indicate the community priority of
the project (e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc.)
For roadway projects, describe how the project
will address the condition of the roadway
surface or other identified infrastructure
problems including bicycle and pedestrian
amenities. Provide any additional information
on pavement condition as well as details of any
pavement management system the community
or agency employs, and how this pavement
management system will maximize the useful
life of any pavement repaired or replaced by the
project.
Explain how the project will result in improved
safety conditions in the project area including
emergency vehicle access, lighting or other
safety features. Please explain the safety
benefits of the project for all modes.
Include information on if the project provides
prioritized signals for transit vehicles, provides
multimodal elements (e.g. access to transit
stations or parking, access to bicycle or
pedestrian connections, includes bus lanes or
other transit rights-of-way, or includes bicycle
lanes), incorporates intelligent transportation
system elements, enhances freight mobility, and
closes gaps in the existing transportation
system.
Please describe any ITS elements involved in
the project.
Explain the impact this project will have on
environmental justice communities.
Since this project is not adjacent to an MPO-
identified environmental justice community or
HUD-defined low and moderate income census
tracts, please identify the community that will be
impacted and the impact this project will have
on the community.
Explain the impact this project will have on the
overall community character and if the project is
located within an existing community or
neighborhood center or other pedestrian-
oriented area.
Explain the project's impact on adjacent land
uses? Please review the Land Use information
in Section A if the project is expected to have an
effect on land use. and provide any information
you have that is different from that reported on
this form
Explain how this project will support existing or
proposed local land use policies
Explain how this project will support economic
development in the community or in the project
area.
How will this project improve air quality, water
quality, or reduce noise levels in the project
area and in the region? Air quality
improvements can come from reductions in
vehicle trips, from reductions in the length of
those trips, or in the reduction in vehicle cold
starts. Water quality improvements can result
from less runoff from impervious surfaces.
Noise barriers or vegetation plantings can also
reduce noise impacts.

Please indicate the community priority of
the project (e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc.)
Describe the need for the project from a local and
regional perspective. What are the existing or
anticipated issues the project is designed to
address?
What are the existing or anticipated conditions or
problems the project is designed to address? Please be
as specific as possible. The information below is typical of
the measures that can be used to identify needs, please
include additional pavement information from municipal
pavement management programs. In addition qualitative
descriptions of problems or anticipated needs can be
provided. (when applicable this information should be
consistent with project need information provided in the
MHD Project Need Form.
For roadway projects, describe how the project will
address the condition of the roadway surface or other
identified infrastructure problems including bicycle and
pedestrian amenities. Provide any additional information
on pavement condition as well as details of any pavement
management system the community or agency employs,
and how this pavement management system will
maximize the useful life of any pavement repaired or
replaced by the project.
What are the existing or anticipated safety problems the
project is designed to address? Please be as specific as
possible. The information below is typical of the measures
that can be used to identify needs, but qualitative
descriptions of problems or anticipated needs can be
provided as well. Local crash information compiled from
local police records can be used to supplement the
MassHighway Crash Data System. (When applicable this
information should be consistent with project need
information provided in the MHD Project Need Form.
How will the project result in improved safety conditions in
the project area, including emergency vehicle access,
improved lighting, or other safety features? Please explain
the safety benefits of the project for all modes.
Describe the need for the project from a local and regional
perspective. What are the existing or anticipated mobility
needs the project is designed to address? Please be as
specific as possible. The information below is typical of
the quantitative measures that can be used to identify
needs, but qualitative descriptions of problems or
anticipated needs can be provided as well. Since the
measures below focus on mobility using autos, any
information on non-auto mobility needs will be carefully
considered. (When applicable this information should be
consistent with project need information provided in the
MHD Project Need Form.
Please include information on how the project improves
level of service and reduces congestion, provides
multimodal elements (e.g. access to transit stations or
parking, access to bicycle or pedestrian connections),
enhances freight mobility, and closes gaps in the existing
transportation system. For roadway projects it is MPO and
MassHighway policy that auto congestion reductions not
occur at the expense of pedestrian, bicycle, or transit
users. The information below is typical of the quantitative
measures that can be used to identify improvements, but
qualitative descriptions can be provided as well. Since the
measures below focus on vehicle mobility, any information
on non-vehicle mobility needs will be carefully considered.
Please explain the mobility benefits of the project for all
modes.
Please describe any ITS elements involved in the project.
Examples are new signal systems or emergency vehicle
override applications.
Is the project is located in an existing community or
neighborhood center or other pedestrian-oriented area?
Explain the community context (cultural, historical, other)
in which the project will occur and indicate the positive or
negative effect this project will have on community
character.
Explain how this project will affect the surrounding
community in terms of impacts on environmental justice
communities.
Since this project is not adjacent to an MPO-identified
environmental justice community, please identify the
community that will be affected and the effect this project
will have on that community.
How will this project improve air quality, water quality, or
reduce noise levels in the project area and in the region?
Air quality improvements can come from reductions in
vehicle trips, from reductions in the length of those trips,
or in the reduction in vehicle cold starts. Water quality
improvements can result from less runoff from impervious
surfaces, water supply protection and habitat protection.
Noise barriers or vegetation plantings can also reduce
noise impacts.
Describe what improvements are in the project for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation, and
what level of improvement will be achieved over existing
conditions.
Will the project have an impact on adjacent land uses?
Please review the information in land use items. Provide
any information you have that is different from that
reported on this form. Is there a local project currently
under development that would provide a better balance
between housing and jobs in this corridor? If so, please
provide details on the project status.
Explain how this project will support economic
development in the community or in the project area.
Including additional phases or public works
associated with the project.
