Preparation of this document has been coordinated by the staff of the Capital District Transportation Committee (CDTC) and incorporates material supplied by the Capital District Transportation Authority, City of Albany, City of Schenectady, City of Troy, Saratoga County Economic Development Corporation and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).  This document has been published by the CDTC using financial assistance provided through the metropolitan planning programs of the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.

 

This document reflects the current status of individual projects as presented by the sponsors or implementers of the projects.  While this document accurately reflects current adopted policies and funding commitments of CDTC's adopted New Visions plan and 1999-04 Transportation Improvement Program, the document does not establish new policy of the CDTC, NYSDOT or other members with regard to additional funding commitments for the REVEST projects.

 

The Capital District Transportation Committee is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady counties of New York and is the principal forum for regional transportation planning and project programming for the area.  An ongoing working group ensures coordination of the various REVEST elements; further information is available by contacting CDTC at 518 458-2161 or at cdtc@cdtcmpo.org
