Transportation — Streets, Roads, Highways and Public Transportation
In New York State, municipalities have varying levels of transportation services.
Communities considering improving efficiencies or making sustainable cost reductions in the area of transportation may be eligible for a Local Government Efficiency grant to assist with studying the feasibility of different options or to assist with implementation of a strategy.
Example: Steuben County created an inter-municipal stripping program that provides a paint stripping truck and crew dedicated to the participating 3 counties. This project provides on-demand road stripping capabilities, especially for newly completed construction projects. The paint stripping machine was funded from the 2007 SMSI grant program.
