Capital District Transportation Committee
The Capital District Transportation Committee (CDTC) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan area. CDTC is not only our gracious host but also maintains the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the CDTC area.
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a multi-year program of transportation projects that implements the products of the planning process described in the New Visions Plan, CDTC's long-range regional transportation plan. Federal regulations require that transit, highway and other transportation improvement projects within the Capital District metropolitan area be included in this TIP if these projects are to be eligible for federal capital or operating funding from the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The program should also include, for informational purposes, non-federally funded projects and New York State Thruway Authority projects located in the region.
