Herkimer-Oneida Counties Transportation Council (HOCTC) is in the process of updating our regional Environmental Justice analysis.

Past versions have evolved based on state and federal guidance and best practices in transportation planning.

The analysis is periodically updated to inform transportation decision-making to ensure avoidance and mitigation of negative environmental impacts on disadvantaged populations. HOCTC’s Environmental Justice analysis aims to:

1. Avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects on minority and low-income populations

2. Ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process

3. Prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations.

HOCTC is working to ensure effective transportation decision-making based on an understanding of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, their unique assets, and needs of the many different sociodemographic groups across the region.

The purpose of this survey is to help us uncover issues and opportunities related to the two-county transportation network. This work aims to support the development and maintenance of transportation facilities best serving the need of our region’s residents.
