About Environmental Planning
The Environmental and Transportation Planning Division works to protect and improve environmental quality in Cambridge through programs and projects that prevent pollution, encourage environmentally friendly alternatives, and remediate contamination. Current activities include coordination of Cambridge's participation in the Cities for Climate Protection; conducting environmental reviews of major development projects under local, state, and federal regulatory processes; and managing environmental investigations.
The division works closely with the other City offices to implement environmental programs.
