On a regional level,
Rockland County works with
Westchester and
Putnam Counties, the
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the
New York State Thruway Authority, and the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create a Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) for the Mid-Hudson South region. The TIP lists
all federally funded transportation projects for the region. More information about the TIP process is available

Rockland County is an active part of the
New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC), our area’s
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) responsible for coordinating and
administering federal funding for eligible transportation planning and
construction projects. The NYMTC region includes Rockland,
Westchester,
Putnam,
Nassau and
