Traffic and Transportation Advisory Committee
Mission:
The Traffic and Transportation Committee (TTAC) advises the Select Board and Town Manager about Winchester’s interdepartmental Traffic and Transportation Program. The Program aims to steadily improve Winchester’s transportation facilities, operations, and services for all users and all modes of travel so that even the most vulnerable users can move throughout town more safely, comfortably, and expeditiously, year-round.
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.
