Summary

During the meeting, Town Board member Armstead Barker asked the Planning Board to examine transportation options, specifically the possibility of extending Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) service to the Town of Perth.
Barker said there is no public transportation in the town and that it would be useful to explore CDTA extension. Aaron Enfield recalled prior conversations with CDTA in 2021 or 2022 and said the authority is conducting a study of regional feasibility across multiple counties; he also noted Montgomery County was part of CDTA's original scope of work. Enfield characterized the matter as part of larger county transportation planning.
No formal request or motion to initiate a CDTA study was made at the meeting; Barker's comment is a prompt for staff and commissioners to consider transportation in upcoming planning work and to track CDTA's regional study.
