NYMTC Requests Public Input on The Future of Transportation; Decisions will Affect Federal Investments Throughout Downstate New York
NEW YORK, October 3, 2023 – Starting October 7th, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) will be reaching out to the public throughout downstate New York to request their opinion and preferences on the future of transportation in their region. Their responses will be factored into NYMTC’s new Regional Transportation Plan which serves as a blueprint to guide federal investments in transportation starting in 2025 and continue for the next 30 years. This includes funding for highways, roads and bridges, streets, rail and bus transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, movement of goods, and transportation for people with disabilities.
The effort to gather public input, called Moving Forward 2055, will be held during these events:
