Government & Finance
Dataset
The City of Somerville completed the first-ever Participatory Budgeting cycle in 2023. In Participatory Budgeting, residents submit ideas for how to improve Somerville with one million dollars; volunteers score and select the 20 best ideas; and residents vote on the final ideas.
This dataset describes all the ideas that were submitted. Residents could submit ideas through the Participatory Budgeting website. Ideas were public to other users, who could comment or indicate support with a click. Ideas were then reviewed, combined, and scored for eligibility, need, and impact to determine which would appear on the ballot. This dataset includes the ideas that were submitted in this initial submission phase.

The City of Somerville completed the first-ever Participatory Budgeting cycle in 2023. In Participatory Budgeting, residents submit ideas for how to improve Somerville with one million dollars; volunteers score and select the 20 best ideas; and residents vote on the final ideas.
This dataset describes the demographic characteristics of residents who submitted ideas. Residents could submit ideas through the Participatory Budgeting website. Submitters could optionally provide demographic information about themselves. Some submitters chose to identify themselves by name, while others remained anonymous. Demographic information is provided here in aggregated form, intentionally without a link to the individual ideas, to preserve privacy and anonymity.

Transportation & Mobility
Dataset
Somerville Public Schools partnered with the City’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development to launch the Somerville Public Schools Workforce Transit Pass Pilot Program for Spring 2023. This program was funded thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act. The pilot program provided free MBTA LinkPasses to all SPS staff who signed up. Passes were good 7 days a week for unlimited travel on all MBTA subway lines, local bus lines, and the Silver Line. The goal of the pilot was to support staff, promote sustainable transit, ease parking pressure around schools, and evaluate use and interest in transit passes. This dataset includes anonymized travel data provided by the MBTA combined with select survey responses from the pilot intake survey.
