Genesee Transportation Council seeks public comment

The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) is accepting public comment on its next operating plan and annual budget known as Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). A list of recommended transportation planning projects that GTC, its member agencies, and other municipalities in the nine county Genesee-Finger Lakes Region will advance during the next fiscal year accompanies the document. The proposed plan and list of projects are available for public review and comment through February 14.

Activities include specific projects and ongoing tasks that reflect the vision of the Long Range Transportation Plan 2045 (LRTP). The types of work being recommended include active transportation plans, traffic management, freight corridor analysis, access management and other concepts to improve safety across all travel modes. Data-supported technical tasks such as land use monitoring, crash data analysis and population projections are incorporated to inform future decisions. The full list of candidate projects including descriptions, lead agency/sponsor, geographic location, and costs is available for public review.
