The Transportation Council's Regional Operations and Safety Advisory Committee (ROSAC) provides a forum for professionals from federal and state transportation agencies, transit agencies, local municipalities, and law enforcement agencies to coordinate various transportation system management and safety activities in the Capital Region. Discussions are expected to mesh day-to-day transportation system operations with the long and short term planning process. In addition, ROSAC will focus on safety and security planning.
Ongoing Activities
Vision Zero Action Plan
Over the course of 2024 and into 2025, the Transportation Council will be working on a regional Vision Zero Action Plan that will focus on a reduction of fatal and serious injury crashes to an eventual goal of zero, and include all public roadways, additional public input focused on underserved communities, systemic safety analysis, area speed limit recommendations, and a prioritized listing of actionable projects that includes infrastructure projects eligible for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding in New York State. The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration as well as the Cities of Albany, Saratoga Springs, Troy, and Watervliet as well as the Village of Green Island and New York State Department of Transportation.
Congestion Management Process
The Capital Region Congestion Management Process (CMP) methodology report was adopted by the Transportation Council's Policy Board in December 2023. The report outlines a process to identify congested locations and the appropriate strategies to treat them. The report makes recommendations relating to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), roadway operations, transit, access management, land use, bicycle & pedestrian mobility, and more. For more information, please visit the Congestion Management Process webpage.
