ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

New Visions is the official transportation policy for the Capital District and guides CDTC's planning activities and funding priorities for the use of federal-aid.  It provides the basis for legislative discussions regarding funding, elimination of jurisdictional barriers and other subjects.  The New Visions Plan is not the last word on the issues contained in the plan, however.  Continuous refinement and step-wise implementation will serve as the basis for revisions to the plan in coming years.  Over the next fifteen months, CDTC will explore the significant demographic, social and technological changes that can be expected to dramatically change travel demand and transportation technology over the next 30 years.  A New Visions 2030 is planned for adoption by December 2001.
