We work on studies to understand and address countywide issues such as transportation safety, speeding, pavement condition, climate vulnerability, human-services transportation, and others.
See the Current Studies section below for our current countywide studies.
Resilient Ways Forward
The Resilient Ways Forward Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan (TRIP) has been officially approved by the Transportation Council and fully endorsed following a positive determination by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The TRIP is now available for agencies to use when applying for transportation resilience funding. It consolidates key findings from the Resilient Ways Forward study, offering strategies, project ideas, and recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Dutchess County's transportation system against climate change. Visit the Resilient Ways Forward website to learn more and access fact sheets, reports, and interactive maps.
Safety Action Plan
Our Safety Action Plan seeks to reduce crashes, especially fatal and serious injury crashes, for all types of transportation, on all public roads in the county. The Safety Action Plan will inform our long-range plan and be designed to enable any municipality within Dutchess County to pursue federal Safe Streets For All (SS4A) implementation funding. See the Safety Action Plan webpage for more information.
Pavement Condition Maps
We receive pavement condition data from New York State for all federal-aid eligible roads in the county, and use this to create maps for each municipality to help prioritize paving needs. See our Publications page for the latest Pavement Condition Maps.
High-End Speeding Reports
Each year, we use our traffic count data to identify County and local roads with high-end speeding, and provide a report with maps and tables to our municipalities, County Public Works, police partners, and Traffic Safety Board. See our Publications page for our High-End Speeding Reports.
