Greetings!

Welcome to the May 2022 edition of the MassMobility newsletter! As signs of spring emerge around the Commonwealth, grant season is also in full bloom. Read on to learn about opportunities to apply for funding for transportation justice, transportation as healthy aging, and more.

May is Bay State Bike Month! Find events near you or participate in the Bike Buddy challenge to help a friend try biking. Looking for adaptive bikes? Check out All Out Adventures and Spaulding Adaptive Sports. As May is also Older Americans Month, this month's newsletter includes an article on local and statewide initiatives to support older adults in biking.

This month's issue showcases the breadth of community transportation in Massachusetts. Read on to learn about an effort to incorporate transportation as part of a response to the opioid crisis, projects exploring equity issues in the shift towards electric vehicles, and more news related to transportation for older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals in Massachusetts. The newsletter is compiled by MassMobility, an initiative of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services.
