Traffic and Transportation Advisory Committee

What is Winchester’s Traffic and Transportation Program:

The purpose of the program is to improve the safety and effectiveness of roadway, bikeway, walkway, parking and transit facilities, operations and services within the Town of Winchester. A key underpinning of the program is the Complete Streets policy adopted by the Select Board and detailed here

The objectives of the program are:

• Identify traffic and transportation safety, capacity and performance needs;
• Develop policy, regulatory, educational, capital and operating improvements (as appropriate) to address the needs;
• Assess the benefits, costs and risks of the proposed improvements; and
• Set out a multi-year action program.

A major goal of the program is to establish and consistently maintain, for ongoing management purposes, a standard set of maps, tables, lists and other documents*:

• Known and anticipated needs looking forward at least three years;
• Planned and initiated improvement projects and programs on a rolling three fiscal year basis

The collection of these documents is known as the "Road Book".

Town Manager anticipates reporting annually to the Select Board on the status and accomplishments of the program.
