Monroe County Countywide Active Transportation Plan
Monroe County, in partnership with Genesee Transportation Council, has completed its first Countywide Active Transportation Plan (CATP) for Monroe County in 2023. The CATP provides the County with an equity-focused, data-driven framework for achieving desired changes to the County's non-motorized transportation network. This includes recommendations for new or revised policies, tools for decision-makers, and transportation infrastructure investments.
The Monroe County CATP builds upon recent and ongoing transportation planning initiatives, including the City of Rochester Comprehensive Access Mobility Plan (2020), Monroe County Complete Streets Policy (2020), the County's "Carrie Ray’s 3-Foot Passing Law" (2021), Reconnect Rochester's "Transportation and Poverty in Monroe County” (2018), multiple town/village-scaled Active Transportation Plans, and the concurrent development of the Rochester Active Transportation Master Plan. The Plan strikes a balance between several community planning priorities, including racial equity/social justice, sustainability, and accessibility. A central goal of the Monroe County CATP is to identify equitable active transportation solutions and provide a roadmap for the County to improve the active transportation infrastructure.
