These organizations include the NYS Association of Traffic Safety Boards, NYS STOP-DWI Association, NYS Association of Chiefs of Police, NYS Sheriffs’ Association and the Association of NYS Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Local Agencies Program Planning Coordination and Assistance GTSC also provides guidance and various resources to assist local agencies in the preparation of grant applications. Program representatives are available during site visits or by telephone to work with local grantees. A number of resources are also provided through the GTSC website www.SafeNY.gov. Traffic safety partners also have a new resource available to assist with the development of effective programs. The new system called the Traffic Safety Statistical Repository (TSSR) was developed by the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR) and can be accessed at https://www.itsmr.org/tssr. Users of the TSSR now have direct online access to New York’s motor vehicle crash data from the state’s Accident Information System (AIS). Currently, users can view reports on motor vehicle crashes that occurred on New York’s roadways from 2009 to 2014, as well as preliminary data for 2015 and 2016. Through the use of business intelligence software, the TSSR generates reports on crashes statewide, and at the county and municipality levels. Reports are available for all crashes and for bicycle, motorcycle, pedestrian and large truck crashes. Other reports focus on alcohol-related, drug- related and speed-related crashes. Each report includes several tables that provide more detailed information that can assist in problem identification, planning and developing effective solutions, and assessing the performance of local programs. This information can also support law enforcement efforts by guiding the effective and efficient deployment of resources to reduce traffic crashes. The TSSR will be expanded to include ticket and other types of traffic safety data and new analytical tools. Until ticket data can be accessed through the TSSR, ITSMR will continue to compile and post county ticket reports on the GTSC website. Archives of county data reports on 2013 crash data and earlier years will also continue to be maintained on www.SafeNY.ny.gov. Coordination of Data Collection and Information Systems The coordination of the state’s traffic records systems is facilitated through the state’s Traffic Records Coordinating Council (TRCC). The TRCC’s membership includes all of the New York State agencies that house and maintain data systems related to highway safety. The Deputy Director of ITSMR serves as the Traffic Safety Information Systems (TSIS) Coordinator and is responsible for preparing New York’s Traffic Records Strategic Plan and annual updates, organizing and facilitating meetings of the TRCC and ensuring New York’s compliance with NHTSA requirements regarding state traffic records programs. Under contract to GTSC, ITSMR also provides extensive services related to the traffic records systems housed at the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In addition to responding to requests for data and special analyses from GTSC, DMV and their customers, ITSMR is also responsible for the final cleanup of the state’s crash file, the Accident Information System (AIS). In addition to providing analytical support for the performance-based HSSP administered by the GTSC, ITSMR also assists the NYS Department of Transportation’s Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) with the development of the annual Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP). ITSMR’s role in both the HSSP and the CVSP ensures the uniformity of the data used in the planning documents and facilitates the adoption of consistent performance targets. Highway Safety Program Planning Process...Page 2 Because of ITSMR’s role in the TRCC and the responsibility ITSMR has been given for preparing the final crash data file, responding to data requests on behalf of DMV and providing analytical support for the HSSP and the CVSP, ITSMR is in a position both to enhance the coordination of the state’s information systems and to ensure the consistency and uniformity of the data used to support the state’s highway safety programs. Coordination with New York’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan The FAST Act continues the requirements initiated under MAP-21 for states to develop a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The SHSP is a comprehensive, data-driven transportation safety plan developed in consultation with a broad range of safety stakeholders that provides strategic direction for the state’s various planning documents, including the HSSP. The SHSP and the safety planning documents within the states should be developed cooperatively and have consistent safety goals and objectives that support a performance-based highway safety program. Under the federal SAFETEA-LU legislation that preceded MAP-21, the NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) was required to develop and implement a data-driven SHSP that identifies key emphasis areas to be addressed to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries in New York State. New York’s original SHSP was developed through a collaborative process involving more than 150 representatives from public and private sector safety partners at the local, state and federal levels. The participation of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the state agencies responsible for administering the federal programs within New York State in the development of the SHSP is indicative of the long- established working relationships among the highway safety partners in New York and with their federal partners. NYSDOT is again taking the lead in the development and preparation of New York’s next SHSP due in August 2017. Periodic meetings have been held with representatives from NHTSA, FHWA, FMCSA and GTSC to discuss the coordination of the planning documents prepared for the various safety programs administered by the USDOT including the need for consistent performance measures and targets across the safety plans. Coordination of Performance Targets Among Planning Documents States are required to set identical targets for the three performance measures (fatalities, fatality rate and serious injuries) that are common to the HSSP, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). FARS is the source for the fatalities and fatality rate measures and New York’s Accident Information System (AIS) is the source for the serious injury measure. To ensure consistency among the various planning documents, the targets proposed for inclusion in the HSSP are discussed and agreed to by NYSDOT, the agency responsible for preparing the HSIP and SHSP for submission to FHWA. Development of New York’s Highway Safety Strategic Plan The HSSP includes an overview of New York’s statewide highway safety program and the priorities identified for FFY 2017. The following program areas are addressed in the HSSP: Impaired Driving; Police Traffic Services; Motorcycle Safety; Pedestrian, Bicycle and Wheel-Sport Safety; Occupant Protection; Traffic Records; Community Traffic

    Regional Strategic Data Assessment: Application of Emergent Technologies and Timely Information Sharing for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council. Word Count 7,012 Submission Date: July 20, 2007 Kuo-Ann Chiao Director of Technical Group New York Metropolitan Transportation Council 199 Water Street, 22nd Floor New York, NY 10038 Telephone 212-383-7212 Fax 212-383-2418 [email protected] Munnesh Patel Manger Data Unit, Technical Unit New York Metropolitan Transportation Council 199 Water Street, 22nd Floor New York, NY 10038 Telephone 212-383-2528 Fax 212-383-2418 [email protected] Richard Barone 911 Academic Program Student Assistant New York Metropolitan Transportation Council 199 Water Street, 22nd Floor New York, NY 10038 Abstract: This paper provides a background of current data collection, storage, and utilization practices at NYMTC. It critically examines these practices, finding them to be overall deficient and inefficient. To address these shortcomings we lay out a five-part strategy, based on data compatibility, definition, collection, storage, and accessibility, to move the organization forward. Next, we examine current initiatives underway at NYMTC that will further address our current data management issues and proposed projects in the pipeline. Finally, we conclude by examining the benefits of these new processes and technologies to the overall region as a whole. From this we find that it is paramount that data is made available in a timely and organized format in order to properly inform decision makers. Introduction: The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) is responsible for providing a platform for discussion to address regional transportation related issues in the New York metropolitan area.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Technical Report Represents the First Major Product of the New Paltz Land Use/Transportation Project (The “Project”)
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This technical report represents the first major product of the New Paltz Land Use/Transportation Project (the “Project”). The work effort in this initial phase of the Project focused on: extensive data collection; assessment of existing transportation, environmental and land use conditions; administration of origin/destination and household surveys; and, development of an integrated transportation/land use model for New Paltz. Phase A is the building block for subsequent phases of the Project (B and C). These phases will focus on longer term land use and transportation recommendations. PROJECT ORIGINS This Project grew out of a set of meetings that took place in the mid-1990s between the Town and Village of New Paltz, SUNY New Paltz, and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). During these meetings the Town and Village expressed concern over the growing congestion of Main Street (Route 299). As a possible remedy to chronic congestion, there was interest and prior feasibility studies regarding a connector roadway linking South Putt Corners Road, Route 32, and Route 208 at a point south of the SUNY New Paltz campus. There was agreement that the concept of a southern connector should be evaluated within a larger land use/transportation study incorporating the Town and Village. In September 2000 NYSDOT prepared an Initial Project Proposal (IPP) to conduct a comprehensive multi-modal land use-transportation. This Project is the result of that IPP. PROJECT SCOPE The Project has 3 phases. Phase A is summarized in this Executive Summary and in the technical report that follows. The findings of Phase A provide a baseline against which to compare the future analysis of transportation and land use in New Paltz.
