Subregions
Stretching west from Boston to include most of the communities inside the I-495 corridor, the MAPC planning area consists of 22 cities and 79 towns that include coastal communities, older industrial centers, rural towns and modern cities.
MAPC works with its cities and towns through eight subregional committees:
- Inner Core Committee (ICC)
- Minuteman Advisory Group on Interlocal Coordination (MAGIC)
- MetroWest Growth Management Committee
- North Shore Task Force (NSTF)
- North Suburban Planning Council (NSPC)
- South Shore Coalition (SSC)
- Southwest Area Planning Committee (SWAP)
- Three Rivers Interlocal Council (TRIC)
