New Yorkers are being asked to help shape the future of transportation across the state.

The state is looking for feedback on what New York’s Transportation future should look like.

It has unveiled the 2050 Transportation Master Plan that includes making roads safer, enhancing options for travel, focusing on travel options for underserved communities, and those with disabilities and the elderly.

It also promotes the use of zero emission vehicles. People are urged to review the draft plan and comment on it. Two virtual forums are scheduled for July 8th.
