The Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting held on October 21, 2024, focused on the development of the Vision Zero Action Plan for Cape Cod. This initiative is supported by a discretionary grant from the Federal Highway Administration, aimed at enhancing road safety across the region.

During the meeting, officials highlighted the significance of the Vision Zero Action Plan, which aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The grant not only funds the planning phase but also opens opportunities for implementation funding once the action plan is approved. This means that towns within the region will be able to apply for financial support to execute various projects and strategies outlined in the plan.

The meeting underscored the excitement surrounding this initiative, as it represents a proactive step towards improving transportation safety in Cape Cod. Further updates on the progress of the action plan are expected in the next month, indicating ongoing commitment to this critical public safety effort.
