| The Brookline Transportation Board was formed in 1974 by
an act of the State Legislature to administer all matters relating to parking and
transportation in the Town. The Board of Selectmen previously held these duties. The six
members of the Transportation Board must be Brookline residents and are appointed by the
Board of Selectmen to staggered three-year terms. Any action taken by the Transportation
Board may be appealed to the Board of Selectmen within 21 days.

The Transportation Board has authority over the Traffic Rules and
Regulations, including such issues as handicapped parking, one-way streets, truck
exclusions, parking meters, permit parking, turn restrictions, bus stops, stop and yield
signs, traffic calming projects, taxi service, tow zones and general parking prohibitions.
In addition to these duties, the Transportation Board takes a proactive role in addressing
transportation problems that affect both neighborhoods and the Town as a whole, while also
recommending necessary capital projects. The Transportation Board establishes
subcommittees from time to time. Click here
