The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has announced that it will host a series of virtual public forums to gather input on its new Active Transportation Strategic Plan. The plan aims to create a more comprehensive and equitable active transportation network throughout the state.
The public forums will be held on the following dates and times:
- Tuesday, January 10, 2025: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Wednesday, January 17, 2025: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
- Thursday, January 24, 2025: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The forums will be held virtually via Zoom and will be open to the public. Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the plan and provide feedback to NYSDOT staff.
The Active Transportation Strategic Plan will guide NYSDOT’s investments in active transportation infrastructure, including:
- Bicycle and pedestrian pathways
- Bike lanes and shared-use paths
- Safe crossings and intersections
- Connectivity to public transit
The plan is intended to make it easier and safer for people to walk, bike, and roll throughout the state. It will also support the state’s goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving public health.
“We are committed to creating a more sustainable and equitable transportation system for all New Yorkers,” said NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “This strategic plan will help us make it easier and safer for people to walk, bike, and roll, and it will support our goals of reducing emissions and improving public health.”
NYSDOT encourages the public to attend the virtual public forums and provide feedback on the Active Transportation Strategic Plan. The plan will be finalized in the spring of 2025.
