Public Participation
Stay informed about the progress of the Safety Action Plan and upcoming events through this website and our email list. We look forward to sharing our progress and engaging with the community to achieve Vision Zero. Despite this plan’s reliance on a highly technical approach, its success and the region’s progress towards zero can only come through substantial engagement with individuals and stakeholders across southern Maine. The community is a vital partner in this process, and we want -- and need -- to hear your lived experiences of traveling in the KACTS region.
