B2 Making Multimodal Matter

The document discusses public engagement strategies for developing the Go Boston 2030 transportation plan. It describes a question campaign that collected 5,000 questions from the public about transportation issues. Public engagement events included a question review session to develop themes and a visioning lab where residents helped shape the plan's vision. The presentation outlines additional engagement including collecting project ideas and roundtable discussions to inform the action plan. The goal is to ensure diverse participation and that community voices shape the long-term transportation future.
