This document discusses tools and strategies for historic preservation planning at the local level. It outlines a three step process: 1) identification of historic resources through surveys and inventory forms, 2) evaluation of resources for historic significance and eligibility for historic registers, and 3) protection of historic character through regulatory measures like local historic districts and demolition delay bylaws or non-regulatory means such as education and advocacy. The document provides details on these processes and strategies to aid communities in preservation planning.

The Community Preservation Act enables communities to fund projects in four areas: historic resources, affordable housing, open space, and recreation. It establishes a Community Preservation Trust Fund at the state level to provide matching funds for communities that adopt the CPA locally. In Lexington, CPA funds are recommended by the Community Preservation Committee and allocated by Town Meeting to support projects that preserve historic resources, meet housing needs, acquire open space, and preserve recreational facilities. To date, Lexington has received over $11 million in state matching funds for community preservation.
Autonomous Vehicles
An MIT spinoff called Optimus Ride is developing self-driving vehicle technology. The company was founded by Ryan Chin, a PhD from MIT who worked on several autonomous vehicle projects there. Optimus Ride aims to provide safe, sustainable, and equitable mobility solutions through their technology, which could unlock over $1 trillion in annual savings according to a Morgan Stanley report.
EV Ride and Drive Event
The Mass Drive Clean campaign was created in 2015 using funding from the John Merck Fund to promote electric vehicles (EVs) through test drive events. The campaign was piloted in Massachusetts and San Diego in 2015 and continued in 2016 with local funding. In 2016, the John Merck Fund provided seed funding to expand the campaign into Connecticut and Rhode Island. According to post-test drive surveys, over 70% of participants were more favorably inclined towards EVs and 70% said they were more likely to purchase one after the test drive experience. The next steps of the Mass Drive Clean campaign are to reach a larger, more diverse group of state residents, continue educating about incentives and models, and provide more experiential events
Autonomous Vehicles: Boston’s approach
This document summarizes Boston's efforts to research and test autonomous vehicles. It discusses the city's goals of improving safety, access, and mobility. The mayor's office has formed research partnerships and begun testing AVs on city streets. Testing has involved different vehicles and conditions. The document also examines potential AV business models and their impacts. It outlines Boston's work in areas like workforce development and governance to help guide the integration of this new technology.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) provide environmental benefits by reducing emissions even when powered by coal-based electricity. EVs also offer lower fuel and maintenance costs compared to gas vehicles. Massachusetts currently has hundreds of EV charging stations and provides incentives for purchasing EVs and installing chargers. Upcoming events will give people test drives to experience EVs firsthand and help more drivers switch to these cleaner vehicles.
Opening Remarks and Introduction of Panelists
The document summarizes an innovative mobility panel at a MAPC Fall Council meeting. The panel discussed the rise of electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles, and how transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gases in Massachusetts. They also addressed critical areas for state and local governments to consider regarding regulatory frameworks, data, land use impacts, infrastructure and parking for new mobility technologies. The panelists represented organizations working on these issues like MAPC, DOER, Optimus Rides, the City of Boston and Reach Strategies.

State of Equity Five-Year Update
This document summarizes a presentation on equity in the Metro Boston region. It discusses goals for increasing equity, including reducing segregation, improving access to affordable housing and food, and increasing opportunities for advancement for workers of color. It then reviews trends related to equity across different life stages and demographics since 2011. Key metrics like income inequality, low birth weight, test scores, incarceration rates, labor force participation, and housing cost burden show both improvements in some disparities but also growing inequities in other areas. The presentation concludes that inequity remains significant and is growing, but that policy interventions can help advance equity, though continued work is still needed.

1) The document reviews local control options for regulating recreational marijuana establishments under Massachusetts law. It can adopt time, place and manner restrictions or limit numbers through a regulatory referendum.
2) A regulatory referendum requires a ballot question voted on by residents to prohibit establishments, limit retailers to 20% of liquor licenses, or limit numbers to fewer than medical marijuana facilities. However, a consumption referendum can be forced onto the ballot with 10% of voter signatures.
3) Interpretation of some provisions is unclear, such as what constitutes an "area" where medical marijuana facilities operate. Overall municipalities have some local control but face limitations, especially the risk of consumption referendums beyond their direct control.Municipal IT Collaboration
The document discusses municipal IT collaboration between local governments and school departments. It provides examples of how the Town of Foxborough, MA and Foxborough Public Schools have collaborated on their joint IT operations. They have formed a technology steering committee with stakeholders to identify common needs, prioritize projects, and oversee the shared IT department. The collaboration has allowed them to hire additional IT staff and achieve cost savings while improving services. Overcoming barriers involves managing expectations, communication, and planning for the future.
