Overview

The Traffic Committee is an advisory committee and makes recommendations to the Select Board for implementation. It considers all aspects of traffic and safety issues which are brought to the Committee's attention from citizens as well as Town Departments. For many years it consisted of representatives of the Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Public Works (DPW), Parking Clerk, Planning Board, and Light Department. In 1997, the committee was reorganized to include three citizen representatives, appointed for three year terms, plus the Police Chief (Chairman), Fire Chief, Town Planner and DPW Superintendent.

The Traffic Committee exists to assist Hingham residents and business owners with ways to alleviate traffic concerns in all areas of the Town. The Traffic Committee does not have the power to implement changes but rather recommends proposals to the Select Board.

Should a resident or merchant have a topic to bring before the Traffic Committee, they should make a written request to the Traffic Committee by email to trafficcommittee@hingham-ma.gov, or mail or drop off a hardcopy at the DPW Office or Police Station.

Questions regarding traffic issues can by addressed by Sgt. Jeff Kilroy, Traffic Sergeant, Hingham Police Department, at 781-749-1212.
