The potential impacts of a changing climate – from higher temperatures and rising sea levels to changes in seasonal precipitation and the intensity of rain events – are affecting the lifecycle of our transportation infrastructure. These trends, including extreme weather events and flooding, are predicted to intensify, requiring the need to plan for the possibility of events and identify how these environmental impacts can affect our safety, mobility, economy, and roads and bridges.

These trends, including extreme weather events, are predicted to intensify, requiring the need to plan for the possibility of events and identify how these environmental impacts can affect our safety, mobility, economy, and built infrastructure, like roads and bridges. For example, storm surges and flooding can obstruct access to roads that lead to our homes and businesses, necessitate more emergency evacuations, and require costly, and sometimes recurring, repairs to damaged infrastructure. Inland flooding from unusually heavy downpours can disrupt traffic, damage culverts, and reduce service life. High heat can also degrade the materials of our infrastructure, resulting in shorter replacement cycles and higher maintenance costs. While transportation infrastructure is designed to handle a broad range of impacts based on historic climate, preparing for climate change and extreme weather events like flooding is critical to protecting the integrity and resiliency of the transportation system. Resiliency is defined as the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events. Enhanced resilience allows better anticipation of disasters, better planning to reduce disaster losses, and faster recovery after an event. Our Regional Flooding Assessment Tri-County is conducting an assessment to identify flood-vulnerable transportation infrastructure such as: roads, bridges, culverts, and trails. We are currently in the final phases of the assessment and developing the interactive flood risk dashboard. Once finalized, these project resources will be housed and available on this infrastructure resiliency webpage. Overall, the assessment and flood risk tool will guide local communities’ planning and investment decisions to keep our roadways and nonmotorized network safe, efficient, and resilient.

THE VISION FOR REGIONAL TRAILS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS LOCAL PLANS & BEST PRACTICES GET INVOLVED! Learn More The 'Why' The connectivity and accessibility of our region's parks, trails, and water amenities for both residents and visitors play a crucial role in making the Greater Lansing area a competitive place to live, work, and play. While we have an impressive urban nonmotorized network, trails from outside our region abruptly stop as soon as they cross our borders, leaving a massive gap in mobility and connectivity and missed opportunities for health, tourism, and recreational activation. So, how do trails help our communities and residents? Trails are more than a recreational asset — they bring economic prosperity and other benefits to our communities and to those who walk and bike in our region. Benefits of Trails Project Phases The 'How' Tri-County is developing a vision, plan, and path forward for a regional trails system — one that works to improve the quality of life for our region's residents and take advantage of our region's central geographic location to bolster Mid-Michigan as a hub for local businesses, communities, and visitors. Explore the phases of our trails initiative below! WE ARE HERE! PHASE 1: VISIONING PHASE 2: PLANNING PHASE 3: ANALYSIS PHASE 4: EXECUTION PHASE 2: PLANNING FOR FUTURE FEASIBILITY The region needed a plan that looked at the feasibility of connecting our existing trail assets to the larger community and state to help fill the nonmotorized transportation gaps in our region, as illustrated in the below map. Tri-County initiated a trails feasibility connectivity study in 2021 to establish a conceptual blueprint for a prioritized, "tiered" regional trails system of over 75 miles of trails that form connections to the region’s core cycling, pedestrian, and recreational facilities. The Regional Trails Feasibility Plan was completed and adopted in July 2023. VIEW THE TRAILS PLAN VIEW THE TRAILS PLAN WATCH THE PRESENTATION WATCH THE PRESENTATION The plan explores the feasibility of developing three new trail routes between the existing Lansing River Trail network and major interregional trails that enter into the tri-county region, including the Clinton Ionia Shiawassee (CIS) Trail in northern Clinton County, the Paul Henry Trail in southwest Eaton County, and the Lakelands State Park Trail in southern Ingham County. Numerous potential routes were studied from a bird's-eye perspective to assess how best to connect our urban center and rural communities, and along the way, to regional assets like local parks and recreation amenities, employment centers, municipal assets, and other community spaces and destinations. Project Background Project Timeline Map of Trail Network Gaps Community Engagement PROJECT TIMELINE HOW WE INVOLVED THE PUBLIC & STAKEHOLDERS Trails connect our communities, provide a means to experience the outdoors, improve our health, enhance our economies, and so much more. We wanted to know what's most important to the public! Throughout the project, we engaged hundreds of stakeholders and members of the public to gather input. Navigate the slides below to learn more. ADOPTION OF THE TRAILS PLAN JULY 2023 Following public meetings throughout May 2023 and a comment period in July to gather insight into the community's trail needs and priorities, the project team incorporated feedback into the draft Regional Trails Feasibility Plan. The plan was presented to Tri-County’s Board of Commissioners and adopted on July 26, 2023. Press Release: Draft Plan and Comment Opportunity Interactive Comment Map of Proposed Trails View the Presentation HISTORY Since the initiation of visioning work in late 2019, Tri-County's long-range 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan , Moving Mid-Michigan , was adopted by the Board of Commissioners in December 2020. This plan identified "regional trails planning" as one of six key implementation priorities for the agency. Tri-County revived the project — this time with support from consulting firm OHM Advisors — after pausing due to the coronavirus pandemic in mid-2021. GOALS At its heart, this plan aims to improve the quality of life for our region's residents and take advantage of our central geographic location to bolster Mid-Michigan as a hub for local businesses, communities, and visitors. In addition to identifying trails that will enhance our region’s economy, transportation options, and attractiveness and expand the connectivity and accessibility to communities inside and outside the region, this plan was designed to make our region more competitive for future funding opportunities and better position local governments and nonprofits in their planning efforts. Since its completion in July 2023, it has set a path forward to prepare the region to secure future funding opportunities, enhance and expand our connectivity to communities both inside and outside the region, and identify strategies and partnerships to make the vision a reality. The project’s goals are to: MEET THE TECHNICAL TEAM PHASE 4: SECURING FUNDING & CONSTRUCTING As part of a Tri-County's $2.5 million TAP pilot project , trail route segments will be identified and prepared for grant application submission to acquire funding for construction. Updates regarding this work will be shared as they are available. PHASE 3: ANALYZING & REFINING ROUTES In late 2023, Tri-County initiated a $2.5 million pilot project to begin implementation of the Regional Trails Feasibility Plan by further analyzing and conducting Early Preliminary Engineering (EPE) to refine identified routes. Ultimately, the project aims to generate MDOT Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding to connect three state-wide multi-use trails (Mike Levine Lakelands Trail – Ingham County, Fred Meijer Clinton Ionia Shiawassee Trail – Clinton County, and the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail – Eaton County) to the Lansing River Trail. This project will focus on filling these crucial corridor gaps and creating connections through the Tri-County region to the rest of the state.

Below, you can see summaries of the trail-specific feedback and overall community input. Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee Rail Trail Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail Mike Levine Lakelands Trail All the feedback we received has been valuable in finalizing the trail routes. Stay tuned for a final report. MORE DETAILS Following completion of the Regional Trails Feasibility Plan in 2023, Tri-County was awarded $2 million by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) through their Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) to complete a pilot project to support the development of regional trails. TAP is a competitive grant program that uses federal transportation funds designated by Congress for projects that enhance the intermodal transportation system and provide alternative transportation options. Tri-County will provide a match of $500,000. Completion of the pilot project is anticipated for the end of 2026. Several outcomes of this project will segue and overlap into Phase 4 of our regional trails planning initiative. Deliverables of the pilot project include: Early Preliminary Engineering (EPE) and segmentation of identified routes in the Feasibility Plan Documentation necessary to apply for TAP funding for each segment Playbook to guide communities on ways to develop trail projects suitable for TAP funding Tri-County has contracted with PEA Group with support from OHM Advisors to complete the project. PHASE 1: CREATING A VISION FOR THE PLAN At the foundation of any plan is a vision - one that betters our region and residents and guides plan development. In late 2019, Tri-County was awarded a technical assistance grant from the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) through their Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program. Tri-County subsequently held two workshops in partnership with NPS in early 2020 to create a vision for a trails plan and brainstorm network connections with stakeholders. Work groups of public, private, and nonprofit and advocacy organizations representing transportation, recreational, nonmotorized, and environmental interests collaborated to identify the community's key priorities for a future regional trails system and map out potential routes and amenity connections. Further efforts were halted at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic shortly following these workshops, until Tri-County revived the project in mid-2021 (Phase 2). ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS REGIONAL TRAILS VISIONING WORKSHOP JANUARY 2020 Over 40 community organizations, transportation and trail advocates, and local parks departments came together at MSU's Henry Center for Executive Development to develop a project vision and explore preliminary ideas and connections for a regional trails system.

The Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) , also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), has placed emphasis on freight planning with a dedicated source of federal dollars for freight projects. The region's 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan analyzes the effects of freight traffic, including economic impacts, and a Regional Freight and Goods Movement Plan will detail projects that will improve truck routes. Tri-County has identified a multimodal Regional Freight Network and identified physical industrial clusters and corridors that are reliant on existing freight infrastructure for continued economic activity. Tri-County will soon develop a Regional Freight Plan to enhance freight movement in the region. The plan will include all modes of freight transportation and identify significant corridors and geographic areas where freight investment could help resolve freight mobility and congestion and safety issues, as well as enhance economic development opportunities for the region’s residents and business community. That planning process will start with a vision for a desired future, and from the vision, goals and performance measures will be created to help achieve it. Check back for updates!
