| MAPC | As mentioned at the UPWP Commitee meeting on February 27, 2020, I think we know what the TDM best practices are. I think what the MPO could be helpful in is working with MAPC and MassDOT in convening municipalities and other stakeholders to better implement them, highlight the issues, and discuss what role the state or MassDOT could do in creating more incentives for municipalities and developers. | |||||||||||
