2017-2018 Budget A Budget for the Twenty-First Century In this year’s budget, the City of Syracuse will continue to make strategic investments into the programs and technology that define a twenty-first century city. Among those investments, there will be $260,000 in funding to implement ShotSpotter, exciting new technology which uses audio waves to detect gun shots. We anticipate that this technology will be deployed by the summer. Continuing our commitment to public safety, my budget proposal will include an additional $200,000 to support the Trauma Response Team. This group of dedicated community April 10, 2017 advocates operates out of the Southwest Community Center, responding to violent crime scenes and hospital emergency rooms, serving as an intermediary between the family members, law enforcement, and medical staff. The Trauma Response Team also work to identify potential causes of violence in our community and de-escalate these situations. Our neighborhoods continue to remain at the core of our mission. Working smarter, we have found new ways to help Fellow Syracusans: our neighborhoods remain active, vital, and strong.

Prudent Engineering In coordination with: Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (CENTRO) Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council The I‐81 Challenge Executive Summary of the Syracuse Transit System Analysis I. Introduction The Syracuse Transit System Analysis (STSA) presents a summary of the methodology, evaluation, and recommendations that were developed for the transit system in the Syracuse metropolitan area. The recommendations included in this document will provide a public transit system plan that can be used as a basis for CENTRO to pursue state and federal funding sources for transit improvements. The study has been conducted with funding from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) through The I‐81 Challenge study, with coordination from CENTRO, the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC), and through public outreach via The I‐81 Challenge public participation plan and Study Advisory Committee (SAC). The recommendations included in this system analysis are based on a combination of technical analyses (alternatives evaluation, regional modeling), public survey of current transit riders and non‐riders/former riders, meetings with key community representatives, and The I‐81 Challenge public workshops. The STSA is intended to serve as a long‐range vision that is consistent with the overall vision of the I‐81 corridor being developed as part of The I‐81 Challenge. The STSA will present a series of short‐term, mid‐term, and long‐ term recommendations detailing how the Syracuse metropolitan area’s transit system could be structured to meet identified needs in a cost‐effective manner.

  • Railroad Safety Statistics – Annual Report 2002 Is Intended As a Resource for the FRA’S Safety Partners
    Railroad Safety Statistics FINAL REPORT 2002 MARCH 2004 Railroad Safety Statistics-Annual Report 2002 03/30/2004 FOREWORD The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has established an ultimate goal of “Zero Tolerance” for railroad-related accidents, injuries and fatalities. In pursuit of that goal, significant progress has been made, particularly over the past six years, in reducing the number of train collisions, derailments, highway-rail grade crossing incidents, and injuries to railroad workers. These results have been achieved because of a collaborative effort involving the FRA, railroad management, rail labor, equipment suppliers, and contractors, as well as other federal and state agencies whose mission involves ensuring railroad safety. Central to the success of this rail safety effort is the ability to understand the nature of rail-related accidents and to analyze trends in railroad safety. The FRA’s Railroad Safety Statistics – Annual Report 2002 is intended as a resource for the FRA’s safety partners. It is also intended as a general reference source for individuals and organizations with an interest in rail safety issues. Statistical data, tables and charts are provided to depict the nature and cause of many rail-related accidents and incidents that occurred in 2002. Furthermore, selected historical data is included to provide a baseline for understanding the railroad industry’s improving safety performance. It is hoped that the information provided in this publication will provide insight into the most significant safety issues facing the rail industry and, in turn, lead to continued rail safety improvements. Only by continuing our understanding about how and why railroad accidents and incidents occur, can we hope to approach our goal of “Zero Tolerance.” This edition of the Railroad Safety Statistics compiles previous safety bulletins prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

    City of Syracuse ANNUAL BUDGET Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2019 Mayor Ben Walsh The city general fund budget, in the amount of $245.1 million, keeps departmental operating expenses the same as last year. To accomplish this, we asked all city departments to reduce their budget requests resulting in a $2.8 million cut in proposed spending, despite rising costs in all areas. The largest expenditures in the budget, as shown below, go to public safety, city operations and infrastructure, as well as neighborhoods and economic development. April 9, 2018 City Residents, Friends and Neighbors, Pursuant to Article VI, Chapter 1, Section 6-102 of the City Charter, I present the budgets for the city of Syracuse and the Syracuse City School District for fiscal year 2019, the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. It is with great appreciation and pride that I deliver my first budget as mayor of the city. Appreciation for the opportunity to serve you; for While the plan keeps the property tax rate the same, the city will the help you have already provided; and for the hard work you do to collect slightly higher tax revenue due to an increase in the assessed support our city. Pride in the budget we propose, which is the result valuation of city properties. The budget proposes to use city reserves of a team effort by people across your city government. It is a plan to close an $11 million projected deficit. that sets Syracuse on a path toward fiscal sustainability and growth.
