Smart Growth America and Transportation for Massachusetts on Feb. 24 opened applications for the second cohort of the Massachusetts Champions Institute, a program that fosters partnership and collaboration between community advocates and local officials to identify and implement strategies for safer and more complete streets in their communities.
The program is open to 10 pairings of community advocates and a local official, who may be elected, appointed, or a member of a municipal planning department.
Participants will meet from April to July for six online sessions and two in-person meetings. The modules include training from subject-matter experts and local practitioners, peer learning sessions, and discussions, all designed to build local expertise in equitable transportation implementation.
Program applications are available online and must be submitted by March 31.
Applicants can apply for a grant of up to $10,000 for their organizations’ programs/projects that advance Complete Streets or transportation justice and equity in general.
Interested parties should send questions to [email protected].
