The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) is inviting public review and comment on its draft Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), the agency’s operating plan and annual budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
The UPWP outlines recommended transportation planning projects and ongoing activities that GTC, its member agencies, and partner municipalities will advance across the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes Region. The draft document and accompanying project list are available for public review and comment through Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
The proposed UPWP reflects the vision of the Long Range Transportation Plan 2045 (LRTP) and includes a mix of specific studies and ongoing technical work. Recommended activities include development of an active transportation plan, a scoping study exploring development scenarios related to a major regional bridge, and data-driven efforts such as land use monitoring, crash data analysis, and reviews of safety-related assets. A full list of recommended projects, including descriptions, lead agencies or sponsors, geographic locations, and estimated costs, is available for public review and comment.
