Rural Workforce Transportation Plan Now Available

The Rural Workforce Transportation Plan was declared complete by the A/GFTC Planning Committee on December 13, 2023. This plan, created in partnership with the Lake Champlain-Lake George Regional Planning Board, is intended to develop a comprehensive understanding of the transportation needs and gaps which hinder workforce participation in the A/GFTC region, identify opportunities to improve connectivity of workers to employment centers, and identify transformative transportation infrastructure projects.
