Appointment Application

On August 12, 2025, the Select Board updated the mission statement for the Rail Trails Advisory Committee. This committee was initially established by the Board of Selectmen on September 9, 2016, amended December 6, 2016, November 4, 2020 and on March 21, 2023, where the Select Board updated the mission statement and renamed the BFRT Advisory Task Force as the Rail Trails Advisory Committee. The Rail Trails Advisory Committee is intended to advise the Select Board and staff on matters regarding the development, design, construction, enhancement and maintenance of rail trails in Sudbury, specifically the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and the Mass Central Rail Trail.

The Select Board is looking to this committee to gather information and thereby help guide the Board and Town staff in making thoughtful decisions that:

(1) are respectful and responsive to residents’ concerns, including those of abutters, businesses, trail advocates, and future users;

(2) support Sudbury’s longstanding commitment to protect the natural environment; and

(3) result from an open and transparent process.

The Town recognizes the partnership with Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), for the Trail to be built with State and Federal funding through the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (Boston MPO) and through a long-term lease agreement, as other towns on the BFRT north of Sudbury have done.
