The Massachusetts Department of Transportation on Feb. 18 announced awards totaling $6.6 million to 15 communities as part of the fiscal 2026 Round 2 of grants for the Complete Streets Funding Program.
The grants help to fund local multimodal infrastructure projects that improve travel for pedestrians, public transit users, bicyclists, and people using other forms of transportation. Projects include sidewalk and parking lot improvements, intersection upgrades, bicycle and shared-use paths, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance upgrades.
Funding of between $190,000 and $500,000 was awarded to Andover, Ashland, Athol, Bridgewater, Clinton, Fairhaven, Ipswich, Malden, Middleborough, Milford, Norfolk, Plainville, Somerville, Westport, and Wilbraham.
Of the 15 projects selected, 12 will benefit environmental justice communities.
The Complete Streets Funding Program provides technical assistance and construction funding to eligible municipalities to plan and implement projects that enable safe, convenient, and comfortable travel for users of all ages and abilities, regardless of their mode of transportation.
Municipalities may apply for up to $500,000 in construction project funding in one application.
Prior to this round, the Complete Streets Funding Program had awarded 568 technical assistance and construction project grants across the Commonwealth, totaling over $123 million.
