In 1975, GBNRTC was designated by New York State to be the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which is responsible for transportation planning in Erie and Niagara Counties. The GBNRTC provides a regional decision-making forum for the development of a multi-modal, integrated transportation system that best fits the Niagara Frontier (i.e., Erie and Niagara Counties, the defined regional planning area). As MPO, the GBNRTC is responsible for developing a long-range transportation plan (LRP), as well as a short-range program of projects (Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP) that are funded with federal transportation money. The GBNRTC operates within a structure based on the principle of collaborative planning, and is composed of member agencies representing the City of Buffalo, City of Niagara Falls, Erie County, Niagara County, New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) and Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA). The GBNRTC receives further input on development and transportation issues from its strategic stakeholders, which include the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, Seneca Nation of Indians, and Empire State Development Corporation. As the area’s MPO, the GBNRTC has taken the lead in an effort to develop a regional public transit-human services transportation plan (HSTP). GBNRTC has worked in collaboration with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) - the region’s public transportation provider, member agency of the GBNRTC, and designated recipient for FTA funds - to respond to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) requirements, which were adopted into law in August 2005. The purpose of this plan is to help improve transportation services for persons with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with lower incomes in the Erie and Niagara Counties area. The plan will provide a framework for the development of projects that will address the transportation needs of the target population, by ensuring that this two-county area and its human service agencies coordinate transportation resources offered through multiple Federal Transit Administration (FTA) programs. The end result of this plan will offer a new annual application and evaluation process for human service agencies to request Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC, Section 5316), New Freedom (Section 5317) funding; and to incorporate the results of the application process for Elderly and Individuals with Disabilities (Section 5310) funding into a cohesive structure. This structure will become a part of this area’s ongoing Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which includes all federally funded transportation projects being implemented. The HSTP, as a part of this region’s TIP, will also become a part of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). As part of outreach efforts that the GBNRTC has been engaged in, this plan will also 1 identify other initiatives throughout the community that are currently focused on coordinating transportation resources. GBNRTC seeks to encourage collaborative planning and transportation service implementation efforts in Erie and Niagara Counties. Using transportation resources in a more efficient manner will result in enhanced access for clients, minimized duplication of service, and more cost-effective service. The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP)i has noted in a report: “…although transit providers and human services agencies operate similar services for similar types of riders, transportation is often provided through separate, parallel delivery systems. Reasons for this separation include differences in funding sources, administrative and regulatory requirements, and the importance of transportation to the missions of different types of agencies. The results of this separation are often duplication of services or of administrative efforts, inefficient use of vehicles and other resources, poor service quality, and unmet transportation needs”; and further adds: “Planning, designing, funding, and delivering transportation services for the transportation disadvantaged in a coordinated manner can help to address such problems.” Through the HSTP, GBNRTC hopes to challenge the above-mentioned difficulties. With financial resources being stretched to crisis limits, and the demand for transportation services increasing, it is critical for all parties involved in providing transportation services to consider a more collaborative approach to using all available resources; to improving communication (either through the GBNRTC or some other named clearinghouse) among agencies to avoid duplicating services; and to strive for coordinating delivery systems through strategies such as mobility management or brokerage services. The ultimate goal (strategy) of the HSTP is to identify gaps in transportation service based on a demographic and demand assessment profile, and to fill those gaps with appropriate transportation projects solicited through the Sections 5316 and 5317 application process. The plan will introduce the mechanism for applying for those funds; the actual application package will be available for distribution by early January 2007. The idea, over time, is to gradually build a coordinated, cohesive regional transportation system that can be used by all transportation disadvantaged individuals. The plan itself is also intended to be flexible; the process and information contained in this plan may change over time as federal guidelines become clearer, and as local entities indicate the needs of an effective human services transportation plan. FTA, in guidelines recently released, recognizes that plans will evolve as they mature; and in fact, FTA is still working to clarify program and plan specifics. GBNRTC, in collaboration with its member agencies and various other agencies working to improve transportation access for their member clients, will continue to investigate

  • Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
    Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data.

  • The Indian Law, Although a Part of the Scheme of General
    LEGALIZING, DECOLONIZING, AND MODERNIZING NEW YORK STATE'S INDIAN LAW Robert B. Porter* The Indian Law, although a part of the scheme of general laws, is but a collection of special statutes relating to the several tribes of Indians remaining in the state. Following this plan an examination has been· made of all statutes relating to Indians, and such as were found to be unrepealed but superceded or obsolete have been placed in the schedule for repeal, and those remaining have been added to the law under the article relating to the particular tribe to which they apply. I INTRODUCTION One of the most vexing problems in Federal Indian Control Law is how to regulate the relationship between the Indian nations and the states. In stark contrast to the federal government's role in Indian affairs, the Constitution makes no provision for the states to exercise authority inside the Indian territory located within their borders. As a result of having territory within a state that the state cannot control, there has long been conflict between the states and the Indian nations, usually revolving around state efforts to exert authority within the Indian territory.2 These state efforts have been * Associate Professor ofLaw and Director ofthe Tribal Law and Government Center at the University of Kansas.
