The Complete Streets Advisory Council is tasked with advising the City on ways that Complete Streets principles can be applied to planning, design, and construction activities.
The following are links to find current and past transportation projects and other boards that also work to improve transportation safety in Kingston and Ulster County.
The Ulster County Transportation Council (UCTC) serves as a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Kingston Urbanized area as well as a portion of the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh Urbanized Transportation Management Area (TMA).
The Traffic Safety Board shall advance traffic and transportation safety, including pedestrian and nonmotorized transport, through study, advocacy and public education in accord with the provisions of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and local law and perform other duties that may be assigned to it by the County Executive and the Legislature.
