Momentum has been building over the past twenty months to address transportation, growth, development and quality of life issues on Cape Cod and the Islands. Starting with the Cape Cod Transit Summit in February 2000 and the formation of the Cape Cod Transit Task Force, region-wide priorities regarding public transportation on Cape Cod and the Islands, and goals and objectives for guiding short-range planning have been identified. There is consensus thatimproved public transportation services are needed both to mitigate seasonal traffic congestion and to meet the mobility needs of the year-round transit-dependent population.
