Our streets are public spaces
We work to make them safer and more comfortable for everyone who lives, works, studies, or visits Cambridge.
Safety and accessibility for all
Everyone should be able to move through Cambridge safely and comfortably, regardless of age, ability, income, or how they travel.
Equitable community engagement
The people most affected by street design should have a meaningful voice in shaping the streets and public spaces they use.
Sustainable urban mobility
Cambridge can be safer, healthier, quieter, and more livable when people have convenient and practical choices beyond driving.
Mobility justice
People of all backgrounds and abilities deserve to move through public space with dignity, safety, independence, and freedom.
