Autonomous Vehicles: Boston’s approach
This document summarizes Boston's efforts to research and test autonomous vehicles. It discusses the city's goals of improving safety, access, and mobility. The mayor's office has formed research partnerships and begun testing AVs on city streets. Testing has involved different vehicles and conditions. The document also examines potential AV business models and their impacts. It outlines Boston's work in areas like workforce development and governance to help guide the integration of this new technology.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) provide environmental benefits by reducing emissions even when powered by coal-based electricity. EVs also offer lower fuel and maintenance costs compared to gas vehicles. Massachusetts currently has hundreds of EV charging stations and provides incentives for purchasing EVs and installing chargers. Upcoming events will give people test drives to experience EVs firsthand and help more drivers switch to these cleaner vehicles.
Opening Remarks and Introduction of Panelists
The document summarizes an innovative mobility panel at a MAPC Fall Council meeting. The panel discussed the rise of electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles, and how transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gases in Massachusetts. They also addressed critical areas for state and local governments to consider regarding regulatory frameworks, data, land use impacts, infrastructure and parking for new mobility technologies. The panelists represented organizations working on these issues like MAPC, DOER, Optimus Rides, the City of Boston and Reach Strategies.
State of Equity Five-Year Update
This document summarizes a presentation on equity in the Metro Boston region. It discusses goals for increasing equity, including reducing segregation, improving access to affordable housing and food, and increasing opportunities for advancement for workers of color. It then reviews trends related to equity across different life stages and demographics since 2011. Key metrics like income inequality, low birth weight, test scores, incarceration rates, labor force participation, and housing cost burden show both improvements in some disparities but also growing inequities in other areas. The presentation concludes that inequity remains significant and is growing, but that policy interventions can help advance equity, though continued work is still needed.

1) The document reviews local control options for regulating recreational marijuana establishments under Massachusetts law. It can adopt time, place and manner restrictions or limit numbers through a regulatory referendum.
2) A regulatory referendum requires a ballot question voted on by residents to prohibit establishments, limit retailers to 20% of liquor licenses, or limit numbers to fewer than medical marijuana facilities. However, a consumption referendum can be forced onto the ballot with 10% of voter signatures.
3) Interpretation of some provisions is unclear, such as what constitutes an "area" where medical marijuana facilities operate. Overall municipalities have some local control but face limitations, especially the risk of consumption referendums beyond their direct control.Natick Center Plan Forum #2

Natick Center Plan
The document summarizes a plan for Natick Center that incorporates previous planning efforts and public input. Some key points:
- Previous plans from 1980-2000s addressed facilities, parking, and design issues.
- Natick's population is growing and its households are shrinking, increasing demand for multi-family and smaller housing units.
- New developments have contributed students to schools, though less than single-family homes typically.
- Most people walk to the commuter rail station, and ridership has increased in recent years.
- The plan gathers public input on housing, retail, transportation, and parking preferences to develop a vision for Natick Center's future.

The document discusses growing economic inequality in Boston from 2000 to 2013. The wage and income divide deepened, with households becoming more polarized. The lowest quintile earned under $80,000 while the top 5% earned over $420,000 by 2013.
