Ulster County Year 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan Update - Take a Survey & Share Your Thoughts
The Ulster County Transportation Council’s (UCTC's) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) looks ahead twenty-five years to establish a framework for the safe and efficient development, management, and operation of surface transportation systems.

This long-term perspective is especially valuable, as transportation projects often require significant time to progress from concept to planning, design, and ultimately, construction. The Plan plays a key role in guiding priorities and decision-making for the region's transportation system.
The UCTC invites you to take their survey. (Read the full letter announcing this survey, by clicking here.)

Burn Bans in Effect in the Town (and Village) of Saugerties
Saugerties residents should be aware that there are State, County, Town and Village laws that regulate any open burning that might be planned to take place in Saugerties.
Here is an up-to-date (as of March 2025) net of what you should know and familiarize yourself with:
- Normally, NY State identifies a brush-burning-ban period each year. On this year's NY State "Open Burning" page -- https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/air-quality/open-burning -- that ban period was from March 16th through May 14th. This page is also a handy reference for what can and cannot be burned, campfire safety and the problems with burning trash in general and using burn barrels in particular.
Note that on March 9, 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul issued a burn ban that includes Ulster County, due to increased fire activity and increased potential for wildfires. The burn ban is in effect until March 16th, when the statewide burn ban will go into effect until May 14th.
- The Village of Saugerties has a year-round open-burning ban.
For more information on burn bans, please visit this website's "Burn Ban" page. Those using TextMyGov can text keywords such as "burn ban" or "open burning" to 845-681-6110 get to the information they need.
