Finger Lakes Traffic Control
Ensuring Safe Roads with FLTC’s Expert Traffic Control Services

Finger Lakes Traffic Control (FLTC) is an experienced and qualified heavy highway traffic control company that manages a variety of traffic control situations. It is a certified subcontractor working closely with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), equipped to complete projects to the highest standards.

“We deliver efficient, top-notch traffic control services that prioritize safety above all. Our commitment to providing consistent value and quality has earned us high praise from Contractors, and Government officials in our community,” says Ryan Randolph, owner of FLTC.

The company offers comprehensive services, including Heavy Highway Traffic (MP&T) setups, flagging personnel, lane closures, detours, and equipment sales and rentals. Its team of experienced and certified traffic technicians ensure a safe work environment for all parties involved. FLTC maintains a large inventory of traffic control products such as cones, barrels, barricades, signage, crash attenuators (TMA’s), Variable Message Sign (VMS) boards and arrow boards, all available for rent.

FLTC’s estimators and project managers engage directly with clients to conduct a thorough analysis of each job by referencing the 619 sheets provided by the DOT. This information allows FLTC to create a detailed quotation outlining the required equipment, manpower, and associated drawings, ensuring the job is completed safely, accurately, and in compliance with DOT regulations. The team also develops comprehensive traffic control plans, and/or detour routes, outlining the route and providing drawings for client approval. After receiving approval, FLTC collects all necessary documentation and mobilizes the team to start the work.

The company handles both short-term and long-term projects, such as local road closures and extensive heavy highway construction. With a comprehensive approach, it provides assistance in all aspects of these projects and has established a reputation for delivering high-quality work.

A prime example of FLTC’s capabilities is the recent fiber optic project on the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York City. This months-long project involved implementing lane closures and deploying a large workforce, showcasing the company’s proficiency in managing complex logistics while maintaining safety standards. By working overnight to meet all client requirements, FLTC ensured the project stayed on schedule and within budget, ultimately achieving a positive outcome for the client.

This success is attributed to its standard operating procedures and, most importantly, the dedicated and educated staff members who make it all possible. Kevin Fruitt, the Senior Project Manager, is a key part of FLTC and its operations. He oversees fleet management, logistics coordination, major projects, and ensures that everything is carried out efficiently and safely. FLTC has invested substantial resources in in-house education, orientation, and recruitment processes, supported by specially designed traffic control examinations and reinforced by safety and human resource departments. The company aims to enhance its training facilitation services by expanding classroom sessions and offering training programs on traffic control and flagging operations for attenuator trucks. FLTC continuously recruits new members, expands into new markets, and acquires new clients while maintaining strong relationships with existing ones.

FLTC’s commitment to quality and efficiency is evident in its proactive project management, meticulous planning, and execution of traffic control strategies. Its focus on enhancing training programs and expanding its reach promises to further solidify its position as a leader in providing safe and reliable traffic control solutions. FLTC’s trajectory is marked by a clear vision for the future, continuous improvement, and an enduring commitment to serving the needs of its clients and the industry at large.
