The infrastructure investments made through the Department's Capital Program are intended to create jobs while maintaining safety of the system; manage State infrastructure assets so that New York remains competitive; leverage State resources to generate billions in new construction and economic growth; and mitigate the impacts that future extreme weather events may have on New Yorkers and the State's economy. In furtherance of these goals, the Governor of the State of New York, the Temporary President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the Assembly enter into this agreement to present information to the people of New York State on the five-year SFY 2015-16 through 2019-20 Department of Transportation Capital Program.

It is the intent of the parties to this agreement to adhere to this program as closely as possible. The parties to this agreement, however, understand that the Capital Program administered by the Commissioner of Transportation may require adjustments to address emergencies, environmental conditions, new federal mandates or to address other unforeseen conditions as a result of the design and engineering process that may impact project costs, scopes, and schedules during project development and implementation. The projects contained in Appendix A constitute the Core Program of projects that will be advanced by the Department during SFYs 2015-16 through 2019-20. A summary by region appears below. Encumbrance of the costs of these projects will be limited by the availability of appropriations for this purpose. • Hudson Valley Region - $1,382.8 million for the counties of Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, Columbia, Orange and Ulster.
