BLUE HILLS REGIONAL COORDINATING COUNCIL
Addressing Transportation in the Blue Hills Region
The Blue Hills Regional Coordinating Council (BHRCC) is a group of voluntary stakeholders working together to address community transportation in the Blue Hills region of Massachusetts, which covers the communities of Braintree, Hingham, Hull, Milton, Quincy, Randolph and Weymouth.
The BHRCC supports healthy communities by addressing mobility and transportation access barriers for older adults and other vulnerable populations. Working with our regional partners and member organizations, in alignment with the MA Department of Transportation, the Governor's Council on Healthy Aging, the WHO/AARP Healthy Aging Designation criteria and the MA Gateway Cities initiative, we have conducted a deeper community needs analysis exposing the root causes of access disparities and designed a regional plan to close gaps, strengthen structural and systemic inadequacies and increase utilization of public and private systems.
The Blue Hills RCC is excited to announce that we were recently awarded a 2021 Community Transit Grant from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation! This annual funding stream supports projects that expand mobility for older adults and people with disabilities.
