LWV Falmouth supports:

The implementation of the Clean Streets Report prepared for Falmouth by the Cape Cod Commission in 2022, minimizing carbon emissions related to transportation, reducing Steamship Authority traffic on Woods Hole Road and in Woods Hole, and facilitating equal transportation options for all residents and visitors. We support proposals that:

  • Promote safe movement.
  • Make electric vehicle use easy.
  • Improve access to essential services.
  • Promote the use of public transportation and bicycle transportation.
  • Alleviate congestion in Woods Hole

  The above position update was based on:  The LWVF Local Study Committee reviewed our position on Transportation in 2022, considering the position from 1995, a more recent statement on DEI in transportation from 2021, the Clean Streets Study prepared for Falmouth by the Cape Cod Commission, the Falmouth Transportation Committee’s reports and a presentation by T4MA (Transportation for Massachusetts). The study was summarized in June 2022 in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLm7Wu1NG5w).
