Albany is the capital of New York, with about 99,000 residents at the center of a Capital Region metro of nearly 900,000 people along the Hudson River. State government at the Empire State Plaza, Albany Medical Center, the University at Albany and Albany Law School are the city's biggest traffic drivers, and MVP Arena, the Port of Albany and Albany International Airport nearby add to the mix.

Strong placements include the I-90 and I-87 interchange near the airport and Wolf Road, I-787 into downtown and the Empire State Plaza, Central Avenue's commercial corridor and Washington Avenue near the UAlbany campus.
