The UPWP identifies work proposed for the next period by major activity in sufficient detail to indicate who will perform the work, the schedule for completing the work, the resulting products, the proposed funding by activity/task, and a summary of the total amounts and sources of federal and matching funds. HOME > PROJECTS & DOCUMENTS > TRANSPORTATION DOCUMENTS > WORK PROGRAMS Document Library Work Programs Tri-County’s Agency-Wide Work Program focuses on four core areas of our agency’s operation: our transportation program , community development program , environmental program , and program administration. The Work Program outlines our programmatic and staffing structure, the specific products and activities of each program, and all revenue sources and expenditure amounts for the coming fiscal year, which runs from October 1st to September 30th of the following year. Activities address the requirements needed to maintain our federal designations as the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Economic Development District (EDD) ; coordinate plans, projects, and funding resources for transportation, economic development, and water quality initiatives for the region; and support the day-to-day administration and management of the agency. As the region’s MPO, we are required to develop a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) in cooperation with the state and public transportation operators that includes a discussion of the planning priorities facing the region. The UPWP serves as the core budget for the urban transportation planning activities of Tri-County’s transportation program that are outlined in the Agency-Wide Work Program. It identifies the work proposed for the upcoming fiscal year by major activity and task in sufficient detail to indicate who will perform the work, the schedule for completing the work, the resulting products, the proposed funding by activity/task, and a summary of the total amounts and sources of federal and matching funds. The Regional Transportation Planning Work Program (RWP) is the rural equivalent of the UPWP. The RWP outlines transportation planning activities to be completed in the rural areas of the region that are outside the designated urban area; all revenues, expenditures, and expected products are clearly defined in the document.

The project’s goal is to identify the diverse housing needs of current and future Greater Lansing residents and learn what the region can do to address those challenges and opportunities to ultimately create housing that is attainable for all walks of life. We have heard from our community – residents, businesses, community leaders, and more – that our region does not have the attainable housing that existing and potential residents desire. Yet, we do not know what these specific needs are. The intent of this study is to define those diverse needs and identify what local communities, private and nonprofit organizations, and other leaders can do to address them. Specifically, the study will: Provide a data-driven assessment of the housing market, housing stock, and housing needs of communities throughout Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties in detail; Quantify housing needs/demand across various price points and types; Engage the community in dialogue about their housing experiences, policy options, and their priorities for the future; and, Create a strategy, with specific policies that address the region’s housing needs.

While this study was under development , the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) published Michigan’s first Statewide Housing Plan and established the Michigan Statewide Housing Partnership, which called for the creation of regional housing consortiums. MSHDA has since identified 15 Regional Housing Partnerships (RHPs) tasked with developing action plans tailored to each region that support implementation of the plan. Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County), in partnership with the Capital Area Housing Partnership (CAHP), will lead the facilitation of this RHP effort for the tri-county region, serving Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. This RHP will bring stakeholders from across the region together to develop a five-year housing action plan that addresses local and regional housing needs, builds on the region’s existing networks and housing ecosystem, and aligns with the priorities, goals, and strategies identified in both the Statewide Housing Plan and HousingDrives assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is HousingDrives? HousingDrives is a regional housing assessment of urban, rural, and suburban communities in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. The project’s goal is to identify the diverse housing needs of current and future Greater Lansing residents, and then learn what the region can do to address those challenges and opportunities. Ultimately, we want to help our communities and decision makers better understand the existing trends and barriers of the housing market throughout the Greater Lansing region so, together, we can create housing that is attainable for all walks of life and types of communities. We will assess data at the neighborhood, city, and regional scale about the housing market and available stock to geographically visualize where our region lacks and thrives in housing types and conditions. We will also work to identify development policies and community priorities that encourage meaningful planning of and investment into housing developments. Using this data collection and public and stakeholder feedback, HousingDrives will recommend strategies and best approaches to fill these gaps in our housing needs while considering the unique qualities offered by each of our different communities. What is “attainable” housing? Attainable housing is an umbrella term that reflects the aspects of a home which make it suitable for a household. If a home is considered attainable housing, it’s appropriate in size, type, quality, affordability, tenure, and location for a household in that geographic area.

Tri-County has undertaken the implementation of a scientific asset management system for roadway pavements to provide the planning of pavement preservation and provide recommendations for rehabilitation and reconstruction of our roadway infrastructure assets. HOME > PROGRAMS & SERVICES > TRANSPORTATION > PLANNING AREAS > PAVEMENT CONDITION All Program Planning Areas Pavement Condition Transportation Transportation Improvement Program Metropolitan Transportation Plan Performance Measures Pavement Condition Safety & Operations Non-Motorized Traffic Congestion Public Transit Freight Regional Travel Air Quality (Conformity) Tri-County has undertaken the implementation of a scientific asset management system for roadway pavements to provide the planning of pavement preservation and provide recommendations for rehabilitation and reconstruction of our roadway infrastructure assets. Tri-County collaborates with local and state officials to assess the condition of paved surface roadways using a visual rating system called Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating , or PASER. We are the responsible agency for coordinating with locals and the Transportation Asset Management Council to conduct PASER ratings for the tri-county area. Road ratings are then used to set priorities for maintenance and other improvement projects. Beginning fall 2018, Tri-County has produced an annual report outlining the current condition of the system and identifying the needs of the federal aid system in the region. These reports provide “snapshots” of the current conditions as well as provide feedback to our local communities as to what repairs are working as expected and where improvements in the treatment may be necessary. The region's 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan also includes a long-range plan for managing conditions of the local roadway system in the region.

Traffic congestion impacts the mobility of people and goods in the tri-county region, which affects quality of life and economic growth throughout Greater Lansing. Tri-County maintains a federally required Congestion Management Process (CMP) to improve transportation system reliability, safety, and performance. HOME > PROGRAMS & SERVICES > TRANSPORTATION > PLANNING AREAS > TRAFFIC CONGESTION All Program Planning Areas Traffic Congestion Transportation Transportation Improvement Program Metropolitan Transportation Plan Performance Measures Pavement Condition Safety & Operations Non-Motorized Traffic Congestion Public Transit Freight Regional Travel Air Quality (Conformity) Traffic congestion impacts the mobility of people and goods in the tri-county region, which affects quality of life and economic growth throughout Greater Lansing. Congestion is the level at which transportation performance is no longer acceptable due to traffic interference resulting in decreased speeds and increased travel times. As the region experiences population and job growth, congestion is addressed by a systematic process, called the Congestion Management Process (CMP), that provides for safe and effective integrated management and operation of the multimodal transportation system. Tri-County maintains a federally required CMP to improve transportation system reliability, safety, and performance. Tri-County's Congestion Management Process is a systematic and regionally accepted approach for measuring and diagnosing the causes of current and future congestion. It provides accurate, up-to-date information on transportation system performance and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meets the identified regional need. A CMP is required in Census-designated Urban Areas with population exceeding 200,000, known as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs) . Federal requirements state that in all TMAs, the CMP shall be developed and implemented as an integrated part of the metropolitan transportation planning process. This CMP is an on-going process, fully integrated into Tri-County's transportation planning process. It is a "living" document, continually evolving to address the results of performance measures, concerns of the region, new objectives and goals, and up-to-date information on congestion issues. The CMP uses an objectives-driven, performance-based approach to planning for congestion management. Through the use of congestion management objectives and performance measures, the CMP provides a mechanism for ensuring that investment decisions are made with a clear focus on desired outcomes. This approach involves screening strategies using objective criteria and relying on system performance data, analysis, and evaluation. In Transportation Management Areas that are in non-attainment of ozone or carbon monoxide (CO) standards, federal funds may not be expended for any new project that will significantly increase the carrying capacity for single-occupant vehicles (SOVs) unless the project results from a CMP. For the tri-county region, a significant increase in carrying capacity for SOVs is defined as a project that adds one or more through-travel lanes for a distance in excess of one mile or more on a roadway classified as a Collector or higher on the Federal functional class map for the area.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law on November 15, 2021. The law authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure spending over five years from FY 2022 through FY 2026. HOME > INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT & JOBS ACT Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. The law represents the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in our Nation’s history, authorizing $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure spending over five years from FY 2022 through FY 2026. Of the total authorized funding, approximately $550 billion is new infrastructure spending above current “baseline” levels (i.e., annual spending levels under existing federal programs/legislation). At the core of the new law is a five-year reauthorization of the federal surface transportation program and $284 billion for highway, bridge, public transportation, and transportation safety improvements – more than half of the IIJA’s total new investment. But the IIJA is not just a transportation bill. It provides significant new investments for non-transportation infrastructure programs, including: Navigate Impacts to Michigan Impacts to the Region Funding Opportunities NOFO Newsletter Additional Resources Impacts to Michigan What Does the IIJA Mean for Michigan? For decades, infrastructure throughout Michigan has suffered from a systemic lack of investment. The IIJA will provide approximately $11 billion to Michigan for infrastructure improvements and help the state remain competitive by creating a generation of good-paying jobs and economic growth. More specifically, the IIJA will provide Michigan with: Impacts to the Region What Does the IIJA Mean for the Tri-County Region? For the tri-county region of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties, the IIJA provides more funding for the region’s core transportation programs that address the ways people travel, challenges with congestion, and improvements that can keep all users of the system - including drivers, bus riders, bicyclists, and pedestrians - safe. The law reauthorizes - or maintains - many core sources of funding and also increases funding for four core transportation programs administered by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission: Supports regional and local needs and funds improvements to bridges, roads, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian networks. Projects that support electric vehicle change and emerging technologies also qualify for this funding under the IIJA. Surface Transportation Block Grant Transportation Alternatives Strengthens mobility options for bicyclists and pedestrians, as well as improvements to recreational trails and streetscapes. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Strengthens mobility options for bicyclists and pedestrians, as well as improvements to recreational trails and streetscapes. Metropolitan Planning Supports TCRPC's metropolitan transportation planning services and other regional planning efforts in the Greater Lansing area. Transportation Funding Opportunities The IIJA represents a historic opportunity to repair our roadways and bridges currently rated as “in poor condition.” In total, the law provides an additional $284 billion in federal transportation funding over five years, effectively doubling total federal funding for transportation over that time to $567.5 billion. Transportation funding is available in the following categories, through both existing programs and newly created programs that cover things like climate change, equity, and resiliency: Roads, Bridges, and Major Projects (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/RoadsBridgesProjects)(PDF) Passenger and Freight Rail (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/PassengerFreightRail)(PDF) Public Transportation (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/PublicTransportation)(PDF) Airports and Federal Aviation Administration Facilities (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/AirportsFederalAviation)(PDF) Ports and Waterways (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/PortsandWaterways)(PDF) Safety (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/SafetyBuildingABetterAmerica)(PDF) Electric Vehicles, Buses, and Ferries (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/ElectricVehiclesBusesFerries)(PDF) For more information about transportation funding opportunities, contact TCRPC staff by clicking here.(mailto:jkoenig@mitcrpc.org?subject=IIJA%20Transportation%20Funding%20Opportunities) Climate, Energy, and Environment Funding Opportunities The IIJA is a historic investment in the resiliency of our infrastructure to protect communities against the impacts of climate change and natural hazards such as droughts, heat, floods, and wildfires. The bill authorizes approximately $191 billion towards energy, environment, and climate programs across four major categories: water infrastructure ($55 billion), power infrastructure ($65 billion), resilience ($50 billion), and environmental remediation ($21 billion). Programs across these buckets will invest in clean transportation infrastructure by funding public transportation, vehicle electrification efforts through station construction and distribution of electric buses to school districts across the country. Other energy and environmental programs will invest in water management and conservation, such as flood mitigation efforts and expanding critical access to clean drinking water. Still others will work toward building climate resiliency and addressing legacy pollution by weatherizing infrastructure and homes and cleaning up abandoned mines and oil wells.

The IIJA includes roughly $64 billion to ensure that every American has access to reliable high-speed internet. This includes programs that: • Provide high-speed service to rural areas, where it can be too expensive for service providers to install the necessary infrastructure, and • Help lower the cost of service for residents in underserved communities to help bridge the digital divide and increase equity. In a digital world, cybersecurity is a critical element of national security. The IIJA allocates approximately $1 billion to fortify existing cybersecurity infrastructure as well as the physical security of electrical utilities. Grid enhancements, cyber response and recovery planning, and federal regulation studies to prevent against cyber-attacks are just some of the major programs that will be funded through the infrastructure law.

These transportation services have many benefits: they directly link to the economy via businesses and access to jobs, reduce fuel consumption and your carbon footprint, and provide mobility for groups who would otherwise be restricted. Part of Tri-County’s role in the region is to support planning efforts and to promote public transit facilities and specialized transportation to connect individuals to their community. Public transportation in the tri-county region includes various modes, such as linehaul, van pool services, paratransit for senior citizens and people with disabilities, and local and express bus service. Tri-County works closely with the staff and leadership of the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) , the region’s primary transit provider, to plan for the current and future transportation needs of residents across the region. Several efforts are underway to assess the need for transit in new services in the region, as well as to provide enhanced service within existing coverage areas. Additionally, the 2045 MTP reviews all transit services in the region and analyzes possibilities to enhance communities’ quality of life.
