Cape Cod Commission encourages participation in Route 6A Transportation Visioning Study

Citizens invited to join public meetings and utilize online public comment tool

The Cape Cod Commission invites members of the public to get involved with the ongoing Route 6A Transportation Visioning Study and to share their experiences along the roadway using the online public comment tool or attend an upcoming public meeting.

A nationally designated scenic byway, Route 6A serves as a vital corridor where people live, work, and travel. However, the roadway currently lacks safe and accessible options for walking, biking, and other forms of transportation. In cooperation with the adjacent towns and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, the Commission is conducting a two-year study to explore ways to improve safety along the corridor while protecting its unique character.

In the first year, the study will focus on reviewing and collecting existing data such as traffic counts, vehicle speeds, crash records, roadway plans, and previous studies, and conducting public outreach. In the second year, the study will identify opportunities and constraints related to future roadway and multimodal improvements that both enhance safety and maintain Route 6A’s scenic and historic qualities.

Public participation is a key component of this study. All users of the roadway are invited to share their experiences and let us know what matters most when it comes to improving the function of this historic roadway for all users while preserving its beauty and local charm. There are several ways to share your feedback, including attending an upcoming meeting or using the online public comment tool. Organizations, committees, and groups interested in inviting Commission staff to present on this project or hold a pop-up table may reach out via email: transportation@capecodcommission.org.
