Malden is seeking residents to serve on a new task force that will help the city plan for its future transportation needs.
Four residents will serve on the Mayor’s Sustainable and Equitable Transportation Task Force, joining city staff and a City Council representative. The city is looking in particular for residents from transit-dependent households who can help in expanding outreach on the initiative to fellow public transit users.
The task force will guide the city in the creation of its first Transit Action Plan, which will outline opportunities to improve the city’s public transit services and connect them to other modes of travel such as walking and biking.
Task force meetings are set to be held about once a month during 2022, starting in January. Three community meetings also are planned. Residents interested in joining the task force are asked to send an e-mail by Dec. 20 to John Alessi, Malden’s transportation planner, at jalessi@maldenredevelopment.com.
