The City of Cambridge has installed informational Transit Screens at three public buildings with support from a Healthy Aging Grant from the Massachusetts Councils on Aging, as part of the Mass in Motion program. Partnering with the Cambridge Council on Aging and Cambridge Public Health Department, the City’s Community Development Department conducted a series of community meetings with seniors focusing on “usability, mobility, and accessibility” to transit. The goal was to engage seniors in a discussion about their experiences with public transit, including challenges, barriers, and opportunities.
Based on the feedback from these meetings, the city implemented a series of efforts, including the installation of Transit Screens at three locations in Cambridge: the front window of the Citywide Senior Center at 806 Massachusetts Avenue; the lobby at Cambridge City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Avenue; and the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway. The goal is to make transportation information more accessible, viewable and engaging so that commuters, visitors, residents, and employees can make informed transit choices. The Transit Screen shows the real-time arrival and departure times of buses, shuttles, trains and the availability of Hubway bicycles at specific locations around town.
“Providing easy access to live, real time transit information is an important step forward in encouraging residents and visitors to use the subway, bus, and bike share systems in Cambridge,” said Cambridge City Manager Richard C. Rossi. “Cambridge has a strong commitment to promoting sustainable transportation to meet the mobility needs of the city.”
