1995 Campaign Retreat Results

Board members and staff of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign held a two-day retreat in New Hamburg, NY December 2nd and 3rd. Amidst extensive discussion of a wide range of procedural, organizational and substantive issues, the group hammered out broad priorities for its programmatic work for the coming year. The priorities encompass both region-wide and state-specific areas of concentration:

Region-wide priorities

  • Transit Defense/Advocacy

  • Pedestrian Safety/Walkable Communities

  • Land Use/Community Design

  • Stop Bad Highway Projects

  • Dump Diesel

    State-Specific Priorities

  • Strategic renewal of NJ Transportation Trust Fund

  • Transport demand-management strategies/collaborative in CT SW Corridor

  • NY Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (NYSTEA)

    The regional emphases (and some of the state projects) still require considerable strategic and tactical discussion. Accordingly, meetings to discuss each of the regional topics (and some sub-regional topics), have been scheduled: Tuesday, December 13, Stopping Highways 9:00am EDF

    Thursday, December 15, Land Use 9:00am TSTC

    Friday, December 16, Pedestrian Safety Noon (before Dec. board meeting) EDF

    Thursday, December 22 NYSTEA Noon EDF

    Thursday, December 22 Dump Diesel (following NYSTEA discussion)
