The Ulster County Transportation Council (UCTC) recently developed and adopted a Year 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan as part of its overall multi-modal transportation planning program. During the development of the Plan, the need to better connect local and regional on- and off-road trail systems was identified. In response to this identified need, the UCTC established a countywide bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee to help improve and expand local and regional trail connections.
The Committee's mission is to develop and maintain a countywide bicycle and pedestrian plan, advocate bicycle and pedestrian safety, help work out complex technical and institutional issues, advocate the benefits of bike/ped facilities, help closely coordinate the timely implementation of bike/ped improvements with local municipalities, NYSDOT and the public, and recommend policies and project priorities to the UCTC. |
