Transportation Council
Elmira-Chemung Transportation Council Overview
In December 1974, the Governor of New York designated the Elmira-Chemung Transportation Council (ECTC) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Elmira Urbanized Area. MPOs serve urbanized areas with a population of 50,000 or more. The MPO's mission is to help build regional agreement on transportation investments and to balance highway, mass transit, and other needs, leading to equitable and cost-effective transportation outcomes. ECTC is responsible for the planning and programming of any transportation project that includes Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding.

Long Range Transportation Plan
ECTC updates its 20-year long range transportation plan (LRTP) every five years. The LRTP provides an assessment of existing conditions, an overview of goals and objectives, and a list of projects that are to be implemented. The most recent LRTP, known as the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, was completed in December of 2019.

Transportation Improvement Program
Federal transportation law requires that a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), consistent with the ECTC Long Range Plan, be developed. The TIP contains the transportation projects proposed for funding under Title 23 (highways) and Title 49 (transit) of the U.S. code as well as all regionally significant transportation projects requiring an action by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
