Notice of OCTC 30-Day Public Comment Period
Draft Air Quality/Transportation Conformity Determination
August 17, 2023 through September 15, 2023
On September 20, 2023 the Orange County Transportation Council (OCTC) Policy Board will take action regarding the Draft Air Quality/Transportation Conformity Determination. The OCTC invites the public to review the documents and submit public comments during the 30-day public comment period, beginning Thursday, August 17, 2023 through Friday, September 15, 2023. OCTC is required to conform to the air quality/transportation conformity regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA requires conformity in air quality non-attainment and maintenance areas whenever transportation projects that may significantly impact air quality are planned and programmed. OCTC is issuing this conformity determination for 30-days of public review and comment in response to amendments to NYMTC’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and the update of OCTC’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
The documents are posted on the OCTC website, linked within this public notice, and a printed hard copy of the documents are available to view at the Orange County Planning Department at 124 Main Street, Goshen, NY.
