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.

Rural Communities & Private Well Owners Like many other household appliances, owning a private drinking well on your property requires regular maintenance and care. Though government standards regulate public water suppliers, a homeowner with a private well is responsible for their water and the upkeep of the infrastructure that goes along with it. This means keeping up with regular maintenance of your drinking well components and monitoring your water quality.

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. HOME > PROGRAMS & SERVICES > ENVIRONMENT > PLANNING AREAS > INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE All Program Planning Areas Infrastructure Resilience Environment & Natural Resources Water Resources Water Trails Infrastructure Resilience Air Quality Green Infrastructure Energy 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, 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. Visit here for the full version of the flood risk dashboard.

The Regional Transportation Safety Plan aims to reduce fatal and severe injury crashes within Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. While typical plans mainly look at engineering solutions to prevent accidents, TCRPC’s RTSP explores ideas from the four Es: Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Emergency Services.

While typical plans mainly look at engineering solutions to prevent accidents, Tri-County's Safety Plan explores ideas from the five Es: Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Evaluation, and Engineering. An analysis of historic crash data is used to determine “emphasis areas,” where safety is the worst, and that information guides the prioritization of projects that will reduce collisions. Each winter, Tri-County publishes an annual crash trends report that outlines the progress being made toward improving safety in the region. Drawing on a comprehensive database provided by the Michigan Department of State Police, Tri-County will identify trends and provide feedback on areas where safety improvements may be considered. Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) includes a broad set of strategies that optimize the safe, efficient, and reliable use of existing and planned transportation infrastructure for all modes. TSMO is undertaken from a systems perspective, which means that strategies are coordinated with related strategies and collaboration occurs among many stakeholders and modes. TSMO strategies range from managing operational systems, like traffic signals, to managing travel demand, like traveler information. Tri-County maintains a working group to address safety and operations related issues. This group advises CARTS in areas including highway safety planning, congestion management, signal operations, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) planning among other issues. This working group is comprised mainly of the region’s ACT 51 recipients, Capital Area Transportation Authority , Michigan Department of Transportation , and Michigan State University. Check out MDOT's safety page to see more initiatives happening across the state to improve our safety, such as Toward Zero Deaths, Work Zone Safety, Safe Routes to School, Complete Streets, Local Safety Initiative, Highway Safety Improvement Program, Traffic Incident Management, and Senior Mobility.

Tri-County recognizes that walking and biking are a critical tool in moving people, reducing emissions, and improving the quality of life for the residents of our region, so we're developing a regional non-motorized plan for the region. HOME > PROGRAMS & SERVICES > TRANSPORTATION > PLANNING AREAS > NON-MOTORIZED All Program Planning Areas Non-Motorized (Bicycle & Pedestrian Planning) 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) In addition to getting us to and from work, school, or shopping, walking and bicycling provide a great outlet for exercise and recreation. There's been a push to recognize and support bicycling as an inexpensive, quick, and eco-friendly form of non-motorized travel. Tri-County recognizes that these various modes are a critical tool in moving people, reducing emissions, and improving the quality of life for the residents of our region. Interested in the road and trail biking paths our region has to offer? Check out our Road and Trail Bicycling Guide developed in partnership with MDOT. The map shows road surface type, traffic volume ranges, paved/unpaved shared use paths with regional significance, recreational facilities, points of interest, plus other facilities and amenities which help make cycling across Michigan an enjoyable tourism experience. If you're looking to explore our trails and waterways more closely before you travel, our Virtual Trail Explorer offers a 360° visual tour of a selection of regional trails that can be viewed from the comfort of your home, including information about public access points, amenities, and more along the way! Current Non-motorized Planning Activities In July 2023, the Tri-County Board of Commissioners adopted a Regional Trails Feasibility Plan for the Greater Lansing region. The goal of this plan is to expand our current network and take advantage of our region’s central geographic location by identifying feasible non-motorized routes to connect the existing Lansing River Trail system with the statewide trails that pass through our region (i.e., the Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee (CIS) Trail, the Mike Levine Lakelands Trail, and the Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail). Developing a true regional trail system would bolster Mid-Michigan as a hub for local businesses, communities, and visitors. Learn more about the Regional Trails Feasibility Plan. The trails the plan will be used to inform bicycle and pedestrian planning in the region. In addition, non-motorized planning is incorporated into all of our long-range planning efforts. This includes the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan adopted in December of 2020, which provides a long-range vision for all modes of transportation over the next 25+ years for our region.

Our economy relies on the transportation of goods, and while freight plays a key role in the economic prosperity of our communities, it increases traffic on our highways and railroads. The recently passed FAST Act – Fixing America’s Surface Transportation – has placed emphasis on freight planning.

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 2045 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!
