Transportation
Goals and actions in the Transportation focus area prioritize low-carbon mobility. Transportation is responsible for 36% of emissions in our town. We promote safe and accessible walking and biking, an improved public transportation system, and support an accelerated transition to electric vehicles.
Taking Action
We are working to increase publicly available EV charging stations in town. Currently six charging ports are available at the high school and two ports at Town Hall.
What You Can Do

- Carpool and/or consolidate errands to reduce the number of trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
- Bike, walk, or use other people-powered modes of transportation
- Consider going electric (bike, scooter, or car) for your next vehicle
