Oneida County is host to a diverse population of citizens with diverse needs and expectations. The Accessibility Committee examined current transportation uses and needs to enact positive change across travel experiences for drivers and non-drivers, including people with disabilities, high school students or limited English speakers. This committee has gathered data from targeted populations to inform transportation planning activities and projects, and support workforce needs.
Accomplishments
- Employer survey data analyzed; employee survey developed and ready for implementation to identify current and desired use of alternative modes and transportation program/service needs
- Existing urban and rural walkability data gathered to inform pedestrian study based on existing and potential economic development opportunities
Goals
- Align transportation programs/services with workforce needs; identify gaps and strategies to address gaps
- Employee survey (transportation needs and interests)
- Identify priority ADA needs/challenges to inform pedestrian study and complete streets policy
