The GP&L has final approval and authority on all major transportation decisions, policies, and programs developed through the Herkimer-Oneida Counties Transportation Study (HOCTS) planning process. HOCTS serves as staff to the GP&L to carry out the transportation planning process and works cooperatively with local, state, and federal agencies to conduct transportation planning activities in Herkimer and Oneida Counties. The GP&L is composed primarily of locally elected and appointed officials that represent the interests of the citizens of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, officials from the State of New York, transit providers, social services agencies and other stakeholders. Under federal legislation, MPOs are responsible for the planning and programming of federal transportation funds within the designated MPO Planning Area. Map 1-1 depicts the Federal-Aid Highway System which includes New York State highways and all federal-aid eligible roads and bridges in the HOCTS Planning Area. The planning process is guided by three documents: the annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), the 5-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and the 20-year Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) which is updated every 5 years. These documents are available online at www.hocts.org. The LRTP is developed as a guide or a blueprint for planning transportation system maintenance and improvements to address the current need and future demand. Developing and maintaining a complex transportation system consisting of highway, bridge, rail, transit, aviation, canal, bicycle and pedestrian facilities requires careful planning and decision making. HOCTS provides a public forum to address the transportation needs of the two-County area through its committee structure and adopted public outreach plan. The LRTP outlines goals, objectives and recommendations that address the transportation needs of the area to reflect changes in demographics, travel needs, economic conditions, technological improvements, environmental factors and land use patterns to appropriately program funding in accordance with state and federal requirements and in a manner that is consistent with local development plans. Destinations 2010-2030 is consistent with the HOCTS mission to develop an integrated intermodal transportation system that facilitates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. The LRTP has been developed in compliance with requirements of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (Public Law 109-59; SAFETEA-LU) and funded with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) planning funds (FHWA-PL and FTA Section 5303).1 1 US Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration HOCTS 1 - 1 Chapter 1 Introduction Destinations 2010 - 2030 Map 1-1. Federal-Aid Highway System in Herkimer and Oneida Counties HOCTS 1 - 2 Chapter 1 Introduction Destinations 2010 - 2030 Chapter 2 Vision, Goals, and Objectives The creation of the vision statement for the HOCTS Planning Area and the development of goals and objectives, conveys the framework and direction of the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). In the development of the LRTP, the goals and objectives are examined to determine their relevance to the current needs and issues of the community, as well as their adherence to current federal requirements. The vision, goals, and objectives are reflective of the planning factors defined in federal transportation legislation and address the needs of Herkimer and Oneida County residents. HOCTS VISION STATEMENT “To develop an integrated intermodal transportation system that efficiently, conveniently, and reliably provides mobility networks that are responsive to the community’s needs for safe and secure movement of people and goods” Six priority areas have been established based on the LRTP Vision Statement: Land Use- Encourage compatibility with local and regional land use plans. Mobility & Accessibility- Improve safety and encourage coordination among transportation providers to address the diverse needs of the community for interconnectivity and accessibility. System Preservation- Promote a transportation system that compliments the area’s natural and built environment. Economic Efficiency- Focus on low-cost, high-benefit projects that maximize return on capital investment. Environmental Impact- Minimize the potentially adverse impact of transportation projects on the community. Public Participation- Promote public access and input in the regional transportation planning process. HOCTS 2 - 1 Chapter 2 Vision, Goals, and Objectives Destinations 2010 - 2030 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The LRTP is organized around the six general priority areas mentioned above that are reflective of the planning factors defined in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).1 These priority areas guide current and future infrastructure investment, the LRTP goals outline the direction for the HOCTS Planning Area and the objectives identify strategies necessary to obtain the goals. LAND USE Municipal governments are empowered with a great deal of authority over local land use policy through the use of planning implements such as comprehensive/master plans, zoning or other regulatory ordinances that guide and control the types of development or land use that occurs in a community. Goal 1: Develop a transportation system which is compatible with the regional land use plan and local land use plans. Objectives: Provide transportation facilities and services in existing and new areas of development consistent with the regional land use plan and local land use plans.

  • Chapter 8 Rail
    Chapter 8 Rail A component of the SAFETEA-LU legislation is to improve interregional and international transportation and to serve the mobility needs of people and freight. New York State’s Transportation Master Plan’s vision is to create a seamless system in which travelers can conveniently shift between modes and operators to complete trips that meet their individual and business needs. Long-Range planning efforts in Herkimer and Oneida Counties are consistent with this vision in planning transportation systems that will serve the mobility needs of people and freight. Rail transportation is an efficient way to move freight and people while saving energy, reducing air pollution, relieving traffic congestion, and reducing maintenance and repair on the highway network. Rail service in the HOCTS Planning Area consists not only of long-distance, pass-through freight movement. There are also short lines that deliver goods to local industries, passenger service provided by Amtrak at stations in Utica and Rome and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The use and condition of the Utica and Rome stations, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and the implementation of high-speed rail are high priorities for the region. Recommendations made in this chapter include: the implementation of the Union Station Master Plan, elimination or correction of unsafe grade crossings, restoration of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, and support for high-speed passenger rail service. HOCTS 8 - 1 Chapter 8 Rail Destinations 2010 - 2030 2009 New York State Rail Plan The 2009 New York State Rail Plan presents a 20-year plan (through 2030) for the state's rail system and describes strategies and initiatives aimed at rebuilding the rail transportation system.

  • Chapter 9 Aviation
    Chapter 9 Aviation This chapter provides an overview of aviation activity and planning in the two-county area since the 2005 LRTP update. The most recent regional aviation plan was completed in 1993. The regional aviation goals and objectives from the 1993 Herkimer-Oneida Counties Regional Airport System Plan (RASP) are listed in Exhibit 9-1. Subsequent events, e.g., the closure of several airports existing at that time, support the need to develop an updated RASP. REGIONAL AVIATION Air Passenger Transportation Although Oneida County no longer has commercial air passenger service, there is service about one hour to the west and about an hour and half to the east of Utica. Albany International Airport in Albany, NY is approximately 90 miles east of Utica and is operated by The Albany County Airport Authority, which was created by Albany County in 1993. It is served by Air Canada, American, American Eagle, Continental Connection, Delta, Northwest, Southwest, United/United Express, and USAirways/USAirways Express/Metrojet. The Albany International Airport enplaned 1,558,656 passengers in 2004; 1,552,536 passengers in 2005; 1,447,553 in 2006; 1,440,385 in 2007; and 1,380,483 in 2008. They forecast that in 2010 they will enplane 1,375,746 passengers; 1,403,399 in 2012; and 1,519,680 passengers in 2020.1 Syracuse Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, NY is approximately 55 miles west of Utica and is operated by The City of Syracuse.

    0TENGAGE CNY 0TA Regional Cultural Plan 0Tto Boost the Livability and Economic Vitality 0Tof Central New York: 2015-2025 0TCortland, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego Counties0T Integrating culture into every community; improving the quality of life for UallU residents; and improving the overall livability and vitality of Central New York. 1 FOREWORD We are proud to present ENGAGE CNY, a regional cultural plan that will strive to reposition arts, culture, and heritage as catalysts for improving the vitality of this 5,500 square mile region in the heart of New York State. Over the next 10 years ENGAGE will increase cultural and creative opportunities for its 1.01 million Cortland, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego county residents and thousands of visitors. ENGAGE CNY, commissioned by CNY Arts and funded by a 2013 Regional Economic Development Council grant, is New York State’s first regional cultural plan and one of the few regional cultural plans in the nation. ENGAGE’s geographic reach was designed to align with our New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization geographic reach. The very process of creating this plan has already increased communication and cooperation across the region. Guided by 72 community leaders representing all six counties, an extensive eight-month campaign (July 2013 through February 2014) sought opinions and ideas through surveys, meetings, and focus groups. Community response exceeded expectations! In all, 8,806 Central New Yorker’s cared enough to offer their thinking and ideas. The extent of participation alone speaks volumes about the interest and desire to see that regional culture and creativity thrive.
