Transportation & Mobility
In partnership with MaineDOT, MCOG provides transportation technical assistance and planning in the Midcoast region. MCOG works with communities to identify critical transportation issues and projects, with peak traffic and workforce movement issues. Our work supports increasing connectivity and ease of movement throughout the region by encouraging strong transportation networks, multi-modal and sustainable transportation options, as well as resilient infrastructure. Our wide range of expertise covers:
​
EV charging
Intersection improvements
Culvert installation or replacement
Surface improvements
Designing resilient roadways: stream & tidal crossings
Parking assessments
Regional transportation planning

Active transportation planning
​
During 2023-24, MCOG will begin the data and analysis work to create a transportation management plan along the Route 1 corridor. The work will include connecting Route 1 with our many state route systems and villages.

For any questions related to transportation planning, please contact Adi Philson.
Active Transportation
Communities should strive to make mobility equally accessible to users of all ages and abilities, which includes providing a range of transportation options. Support for walking, biking, and other forms of active transportation is critical to the health and vibrancy of communities. MCOG can help expand and integrate active transportation in your community. Our work encompasses:
​
Walkable downtowns & village areas
Sidewalk improvements
Bicycle infrastructure planning
