The GTC Planning Committee approved the draft operating plan and annual budget known as Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and draft project list, as presented here, for public review at its meeting on January 9, 2025. The formal 30-day public review period will take place from January 13 through February 12, 2025.
Overview
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 9-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 12.
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, educational programming for school aged children, workforce development for clean transportation systems, continuing to rethink and reduce the transportation footprint in the center of Rochester, and other concepts to improve safety across all travel modes. Data-supported technical tasks such as land use monitoring, crash data analysis, and reviewing safety related assets are incorporated to inform future decisions and capital planning. The full list of candidate projects including descriptions, lead agency/sponsor, geographic location, and costs is available for public review.
