GTC Listening Sessions 

The Genesee Transportation Council (our local transportation planning agency) is partnering with the Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council (our local advisory planning organization) to host transportation listening sessions to hear about our transportation needs. These listening sessions will inform the next Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), a critical planning document which examines what we want our transportation system to look like in 20-25 years. The LRTP informs short term investments such as TIP and UPWP investments. 

NOTE: If you attended the July listening session at the Henrietta Library or virtually on July 10th, this is the exact same thing. 

Advocacy Opportunities:

• Emphasize the need to continue adopting a multimodal approach which supports all modes of transportation.

• Emphasize the need for the completion of the proposed CoR ATP and Countywide ATP goal of constructing an all-ages-and-abilities bike network across the entirety of Monroe County. Over a 25 year time span, building the proposed network is possible if we start in the next couple of years.

• Advocate for additional funding for RTS and public transit, specifically for more bus lines which have frequent service (bus every 15 min or less) seven days a week. 

• Multiple Gold-Standard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors which connect suburban towns with downtown, linking housing, jobs, and amenities.

• Advocate for increased transportation options for all across the county including countywide carshare and bike share.

• Fix it first approach to roadways. We must not expand our highway and roadway network until we are able to maintain what we already have built. Many existing highways are overbuilt and should be right sized as they approach the end of their service life.  

• Remember that GTC has the power to program our region’s transportation investments. This is the time to advocate for complete networks for active transportation users.
