🔊 Big News for New York Infrastructure! Governor Kathy Hochul has announced an incredible investment of over $484 million through the Bridge NY program! This funding supports 216 projects in 137 communities across New York, aimed at rehabilitating and replacing local bridges and culverts. The GBNRTC actively solicited bridge applications from all cities towns and villages in Erie and Niagara County. A total of sixteen bridge applications were received. Applications were reviewed, scored, and submitted to NYSDOT via a GBNRTC-led review team from each county. All sixteen of the GBNRTC submitted bridge projects were awarded by NYSDOT totaling almost $44M. This initiative not only enhances safety but also supports efforts to harden critical infrastructure, making local communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change. With support from the federal Bridge Formula Program, this significant funding will help local governments in every region of the state strengthen their existing infrastructure to endure severe weather events better.

PUBLIC NOTICE: Proposed 2024 Transit Asset Management (TAM) Performance Measure Targets The Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC) is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Erie and Niagara Counties. The FTA Transit Asset Management Rule, which became effective on October 1, 2016, requires transit operators to develop and adopt a Transit Asset Management Plan that addresses State of Good Repair for rolling stock, infrastructure, equipment, and facilities. Each year, MPOs must adopt targets. Based on the Final Rule on Metropolitan Planning, the MPO has the option, as with all other performance targets, to (1) agree to program investments in support of the transit operator(s)’ target, or (2) set their own quantifiable targets. The GBNRTC concurs with the attached Transit Asset Management performance targets for 2024 set by NFTA per established federal requirements for Performance Management. Public comments will be received for 30 days from 7/11/24 until Close of Business (COB) on 8/11/24. Click on the link for more information: https://lnkd.in/eKb5UmMu
