About STEP

Thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth to celebrate the Green Line and Community Path and also continue advocating for better transportation in all modes!

Thanks to everyone who dropped by the STEP booth last weekend! We had great conversations about the upcoming Green Line opening, proposed Somerville bus changes (send your feedback to the MBTA!), ideas for future pedestrian/bicycle paths, and so much more.

Another ArtBeat, another opportunity to share what’s going on with the Green Line and other transportation projects in Somerville. Thanks everyone who dropped by our booth to say hello! Click for more photos.

We always enjoy talking with everyone who drops by the STEP booth about what’s happening with the Green Line Extension – and everything else related to better transportation in Somerville. Happy Artbeat!

 Artbeat

• Artbeat was great! STEP got a lot of visitors, there was a big crowd around the McGrath table, and lots of people went to the Path table as well. The Friends had people write a note in support of the Path. We all had a great location! Thanks to everyone who volunteered.
