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. HOME > PROGRAMS & SERVICES > TRANSPORTATION > PLANNING AREAS > SAFETY & OPERATIONS All Program Planning Areas Transportation Transportation Improvement Program Metropolitan Transportation Plan Moving Mid-Michigan Performance Measures Pavement Condition Safety & Operations Non-Motorized Traffic Congestion Public Transit Freight Regional Travel Air Quality (Conformity) Safety & Operations The Regional Transportation Safety Plan (RTSP) 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, 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.

We are diving into past studies and confirming previous community input to create a single, unified vision for Michigan Avenue that is technically feasible and implementable. Help us envision our current and future transportation needs - like walkability and ease of driving, riding the bus, and bicycling - and development desires - like access to businesses and emergency services, placemaking, and other designs that inspire vibrant public spaces for people and businesses along the corridor. THE VISION FOR LEARN MORE Learn More The Place. Michigan Avenue is more than a road. It connects world-class talent at Michigan State University in East Lansing to our State Capitol in Lansing, where decisions about the lives of Michiganders are made every day. This is Michigan's Avenue. LEARN MORE The People. We are passionate. We are engaged. We care. Join us as a member of our community and share your voice and vision to help create a vibrant future for Michigan's Avenue! EVENTS The Time. There have been many studies over the years for Michigan Avenue. Road construction is planned and development is happening! Now is the time to agree on a single, unified vision for the corridor. IMPLEMENTATION We've got history. Over the years, extensive studies have been conducted to explore ways to improve the corridor, including the 2014 Capitol Corridor Study by Tri-County and the 2017 Shaping the Avenue project by Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA). The timeline below outlines previous studies that have been completed, which are now setting the stage for a final, collective vision moving forward – The Vision for Michigan’s Avenue . Past Studies Button Button Button Button Button Button How is this study different? You've shared your ideas for years - we hear you! Since the most recent study in 2017 - Shaping the Avenue - our nation, region, and local communities have seen change. Michigan Avenue has new housing developments, road improvements, and more. We've also experienced a global pandemic that effectively shut down our world and potentially changed our priorities. We are diving into past studies and confirming previous input from the community to create a single, unified vision for the corridor that is technically feasible and implementable. This study is an opportunity to clarify our community's goals and objectives for the Michigan Avenue Corridor as we envision our current and future transportation needs - like walkability and ease of driving, riding the bus, and bicycling - and development desires - like access to businesses and emergency services, placemaking, and other designs that inspire vibrant public spaces for people and businesses along the backbone of our region's urban core. We can't wait to see what Michigan's Avenue will look like, together. What's Different This Time? Project Timeline Pre-Design Project Timeline Get Involved!

RSVP NOW VIEW THE PRESENTATION Get involved. We recognize that the community's priorities and values may have changed in the past several years, especially with a global pandemic. Help us confirm public input that has been collected through previous studies and share new goals and desires for Michigan's Avenue! Our survey is now closed. Stay tuned for more opportunities! Explore the Corridor! Navigate the map below to view signalized intersections, bus stops, planned construction projects, cultural districts, and more along Michigan's Avenue! We encourage you to use this information as food for thought when sharing your input and thinking about what you want to see along the corridor. What cultural district do you spend the most time in? Do the bus stops along the corridor meet your needs? Do you use intersections more than others? These are just a few questions you can think about when you take the survey or attend a community event ! Why Now? Implementation is coming. With the City of Lansing's planned road construction along Michigan Avenue in 2023 and 2024, this is a pivotal moment to take a step forward in enhancing the corridor and making sure our community's projects work toward a shared vision! Below are frequently asking questions and thought starters that we will continue to update throughout the duration of the project to keep the community informed as the study and future road projects proceed. Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions Why does another study need to be done? A lot has changed since the last study was completed in 2017 (Shaping the Avenue). There have been new developments, placemaking and events, and infrastructure investment in recent years along Michigan Avenue, and we’ve experienced a global pandemic that shut down our world and potentially changed our priorities. This study provides an opportunity to voice those changes and confirm past ideas shared. The City of Lansing also has road projects scheduled for construction in 2023 and 2024 - this study will help inform the design for these projects to make sure we are working together toward a shared vision! Lastly, many studies have been completed over the years. Public feedback, technical analysis, and recommendations from that work are being considered for this study to create a single, unified vision that we all - residents, business and property owners, local governments, and more - can compromise on and agree to implement. Who is involved in this study? This study - The Vision for Michigan's Avenue - is led by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County), which serves as the Greater Lansing region's Metropolitan Planning Organization and Economic Development District. These designations by the federal government enable communities in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties to receive federal funding to improve transportation infrastructure and mobility, including roads, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, public transit, and safety projects, and stimulate economic development and community investment. The project's technical advisory committee is comprised of Tri-County staff and the agencies that have jurisdiction over the road and own assets along the corridor – the City of Lansing, City of East Lansing, Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA), and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). They serve as key partners that will help implement improvements identified in the study. A wide variety of community leaders and organizations, like the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority and Sparrow Hospital, are also invited to participate in focus groups to be a part of creating - and ultimately, helping put into action - this vision for Michigan's Avenue. Tri-County has partnered with Progressive AE, an architectural design and engineering firm, to assist in the development of the study. There are also several opportunities for the public to provide input, including a survey and multiple community events. Stay tuned and check back for more details! We are seeking feedback from those who live and work in the immediate vicinity of the corridor whose daily lives could potentially be impacted, as well as people from across the region and state who can help explore how we can make Michigan's Avenue a destination for all. When is planned road construction supposed to begin? In the short term, the City of Lansing has secured federal funding that targets road rehabilitation work on Michigan Avenue from Pennsylvania Avenue to Clemens Avenue in 2023 and from Clemens Avenue to Charles Street in 2024, which will also see operational improvements with modernized traffic signals. Longer term, The Vision for Michigan's Avenue will provide opportunities to secure funding to further implement this collective, unified vision along the corridor for both transportation improvements and other potential placemaking enhancements. Funding for road, pedestrian, or bicycle projects could come through Tri-County's Transportation Improvement Program (www.mitcrpc.org/tip)or other federal/state/local government sources. Funding for economic development projects could come from public, nonprofit, private, or other community grant programs. As an example, the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority, Community Foundation, and City of Lansing are currently commissioning façade improvements for several businesses along Michigan Avenue! How much will planned road construction cost? The City of Lansing’s planned projects for 2023 and 2024 will begin design in winter 2022. Updates to project costs will be provided after design begins. At this time, nearly $5 million is currently allocated to road rehabilitation and traffic signal modernization work. How long will construction last? Coming soon! Where can I find media materials?

Tri-County partnered with the Middle Grand River Organization of Watersheds (MGROW) to create a water trail development plan to improve the connectivity, accessibility, and quality of our region's main water trail, the Middle Grand River. The state selected the river as one of the first state-designated water trails. HOME > PROJECTS & DOCUMENTS > ENVIRONMENT & NATURAL RESOURCES > WATER TRAIL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Document Library Middle Grand River Water Trail Development Plan On December 20, 2018, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced the selection of the Middle Grand River Water Trail , which has 33 access sites that provide a variety of experiences for paddlers of all experience levels, as one of the first waterways in Michigan to be a state-designated water trail. The Middle Grand River Water Trail, which extends 87 miles throughout Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Ionia counties, was included in the first round of designations made by the DNR and the Office of the Great Lakes. The granting of this designation signifies our region's water trail provides a quality trail experience, offers clear information for users, and enjoys broad community support. To become designated, the DNR’s new water trails program requires local water trail organizations to have established water trail plans that address components such as safety, stewardship, historic and cultural resources, education opportunities, funding, signage, management and development, local land and water use laws, and marketing and promotion. Tri-County partnered with the Middle Grand River Organization of Watersheds (MGROW) to create this water trail development plan to improve the connectivity, accessibility, and quality of our region's main water trail, the Middle Grand River. Quality recreational amenities greatly improve the quality of life of Greater Lansing’s residents and visitors and make our region a more competitive place to live and play. Tri-County and MGROW are continuing to explore options for improved signage, kiosks, guidebooks, and other resources for the Middle Grand River.

Tri-County has pursued a variety of grant opportunities for special projects that have been since been completed. View our successes here! PAST PROJECTS MI Capital Region Data Dashboard https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1840e9_889367ec61714966bab32175204f09d7~mv2.png The Regional Prosperity Initiative (https://www.mitcrpc.org/glrpi)for the State of Michigan's prosperity regions was initiated in FY 2014 and required the management of a performance dashboard of data, detailing the economic progress and status of our region. Snapshots of our region's key indicators were captured throughout the dashboard, titled MI Capital Region,(http://www.micapitalregion.com/) providing stakeholders a foundational map that measured success, opportunities, and assets. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1840e9_a9b8af0b82254ecfa146f2426aa6e953~mv2.png This coordinated measurement tool tracked critical economic, educational, workforce, health, environmental, and social data metrics, to helped empower communities and regional stakeholders in our region to pursue strategic change, together. Following the sunset of the state's Regional Prosperity Initiative, Tri-County continued to maintain the data dashboard. In 2024, Tri-County worked with Headlight Data to develop a new dashboard under the same name for the latest economic, workforce, and demographic data for the region. View the dashboard at mitcapitalregion.org.(https://micapitalregion.org/) Imagine Mid-Michigan https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined The Imagine Mid-Michigan (IMM) program was an outcome of Tri-County Regional Planning Commission’s partnership with Portland State University’s Urban Sustainability Accelerator program. This 12-month program included the development of updated growth trends in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties out to 2040; a taxpayer impact analysis of said growth trends compared to compact growth; a feasibility study of the transfer of development rights in Mid-Michigan; a case study for diverse housing in Mid-Michigan; visits by Michele Reeves and Robert Liberty to provide insight and data concerning the success of our downtowns; tours of successful housing and farmland preservation programs in the state; and regular social convenings, which served as a peer-exchange of regional leaders from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties learning best practices for land use. At the core of IMM activities were the objectives of Tri-County's 2005 Regional Growth: Choices for our Future (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/2005RegionalGrowth)policy document. A key element of the Long Range Transportation Plan (mitcrpc.org/mtp )and a mission of the agency, the objectives of said document were meant to implement a sustainable growth pattern and transportation network in Mid-Michigan. They included: • Intergovernmental Cooperation • Public Participation • Equitable Growth and Redevelopment • Environmental Protection • Housing for All Community Residents • Enhancing and Preserving the Existing Road Network • Emphasize Transit & Non-Motorized Modes Rather than Further Expansion of the Road Network in Rural Areas • Urban and Rural Service Areas • Farmland, Open Space and other Natural Resource Protection • Greenways and Walkability • Park and Recreation Expansion and Linkages • Historic Preservation & Cultural Facilities • Compact Settlement • Clustered Development Areas • Phased Growth • Strengthening Urban Cores • Viable Neighborhoods, and • High Density Mixed Uses These Regional Growth policy objectives have been implemented by Tri-County staff throughout their respective program areas. For the former Land Use program, which is now integrated into the new Community Development program, this included the ongoing study and promotion planning policies such as urban service boundary and various tax-revenue sharing programming. The IMM program was an implementation activity of Tri-County and its Urban and Rural Service Management (URSM) Committee, which discussed regional cooperation in designating an urban service (water and sewer) boundary and the efficient sharing of services between jurisdictions The URSM Committee was awarded a Partnerships for Change: Sustainable Communities research grant through the Land Information Access Association (LIAA). LIAA is a non-profit planning firm based on northern Michigan with staff who work across the state to facilitate regional cooperation and other local service partnerships. LIAA staff facilitated the development of a Tri-County Urban Services Management Study.(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/2011UrbanServiceStudy) The Study outlined a feasible strategy for implementing an urban service boundary within the committee memberships' jurisdictional boundaries. The committee members included Lansing, East Lansing, the nine urbanized townships surrounding the two cities, Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties, and a few outlying county jurisdictions such as Williamstown Township and the City of Mason. Prior to the commencement of the Study, the committee members completed a Community Collaboration Survey, reporting that almost every member felt that the time was right for the development of an urban service boundary. With this understanding, committee attendance was incredibly engaging and conversations related to the development of a boundary were notably positive between members. Pollution Isn't Pretty https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission partnered with the Middle Grand River Organization of Watersheds (https://www.mgrow.org/)and several Mid-Michigan watershed groups and agencies to rollout a water resources brand, Pollution Isn’t Pretty.(https://www.mywatersheds.org/) The campaign streamlines multiple organizations' educational efforts to create clear, consistent messages that educate area residents about water quality concerns and what they can do to reduce pollution and protect our region’s water resources. This campaign received the 2013 Gold ADDY Award. The ADDYs are considered the world's largest advertising competition that recognizes creative excellence in all forms of media and design. Greater Lansing Area Clean Cities From 2017-2019, Tri-County housed and coordinated the Greater Lansing Area Clean Cities (GLACC),(http://michigancleancities.org/) a coalition of stakeholders working locally to implement alternative and renewable fuels, idle reduction measures, fuel economy improvements, and emerging transportation technologies. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined GLACC's projects, led by Tri-County staff and guided by their Board of Directors, worked to achieve cleaner air, reduced emissions, and energy security in Mid-Michigan through alternative fuel and vehicle usage, and fuel economy practices. Members and stakeholders have included fleets, corporations, nonprofit organizations, utilities, local governments, and individuals – anyone interested in ways cleaner fuels, vehicles, and practices can improve our air quality and reduce petroleum dependence through local activities that grow the market for alternative fuels and advanced vehicles. Projects included: • Information sharing and public education of best practices, technological advancements, and grant opportunities for businesses and private fleets • Events like Alternative Fuel Vehicle Odyssey Day and Ride & Drives, which featured educational sessions and offered the opportunity to test drive all-electric and hybrid vehicles • Partnerships and initiatives with Midwest EVOLVE, the Michigan Agency for Energy, Lansing Community College, Dean Transportation and local schools, Michigan to Montana (M2M) Alternative Fuels Corridor (https://www.michigancleancities.org/michigan-to-montana-m2m-alternative-fuels-corridor/#:~:text=The%20M2M%20project%20covers%20a,and%20compressed%20natural%20gas%20vehicles.)along I-94, and more! Clean Cities dates back to the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988 and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. These laws, which encouraged the production and use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and the reduction of vehicle emissions, led to the creation of the Alternative Fuels Data Center (https://afdc.energy.gov/)(AFDC) in 1991. The AFDC's mission was to collect, analyze, and distribute data used to evaluate alternative fuels and vehicles. In 1992, the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (https://epact.energy.gov/)(EPAct) required certain vehicle fleets to acquire AFVs. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Energy created Clean Cities in 1993 to provide informational, technical, and financial resources to EPAct-regulated fleets and voluntary adopters of alternative fuels and vehicles. Learn more about GLACC and its initiatives at michigancleancities.org.(http://michigancleancities.org/) Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined The Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability (MMPGS) was funded over the course of three years from 2012-2014 by a $3 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) S(https://www.hud.gov/)ustainable Communities Regional Planning Program grant awarded to the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. Tri-County, our local partners, and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority offered more than $5,200,000 in local matching contributions of services, expertise, participation, and funds to make this program worth over $8.3 million. Tri-County partnered with the Greater Lansing Housing Coalition, Mid-Michigan Environmental Action Council, Michigan State University,(https://www.canr.msu.edu/spdc/research-outreach/mid_mi_program_for_greater_sustainability) Michigan Energy Options, local municipalities (Ingham County, Clinton County, Eaton County, Cities of Lansing and East Lansing, Williamston, Village of Webberville, Townships of Leroy and Williamstown, Charter Townships of Meridian and Lansing) to lead the implementation of the program. Other organizations and agencies from housing, community development, economic development and business, land use, infrastructure, environmental, and equality and diversity industries also participated. The primary planning products or projects of this grant funded sustainability planning effort included: • Develop a 5-year Comprehensive Regional Fair & Affordable Housing Plan(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/AffordableHousingPlan) • Develop a Regional Affordable Housing Study(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/2013HousingStudy) • Build capacity in the region through a Community Reinvestment Fund(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rpuYE4H1aA&t=8s) • Develop an Energy Audit Study of Built Structures(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/MMPGSEnergyAudit) • Build capacity for a Regional Urban Service Management Area(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/2011UrbanServiceStudy) • Promote a prioritized green infrastructure system: Greening Mid-Michigan(https://migreencommunities.com/) • Development of a Sustainable Design Portfolio for the Michigan Avenue Corridor(https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/CapitolCorridor) • Build capacity for Complete Streets (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/CompleteStreetsSubProjects)planning and implementation • Evaluate and promote sustainability efforts: An Online Portal (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/MMPGSProjects)for information sharing https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined Children's Water Festival In 1995, the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and the Groundwater Management Board (GMB) (https://www.mitcrpc.org/gmb)hosted the first Children’s Water Festival in Michigan at Michigan State University. In total, seventeen festivals were held over 20 years. The festival was always well received and considered a great success serving over 35,000 elementary students from area schools. The free festival provided an interactive field trip for students to learn about the importance of our environment, water resources, and their role in protecting and conserving it. The students participated in hands on activities led by local water management professionals. Over the years, hundreds of professional volunteers provided presentations to students, emphasizing the importance of water-related careers. From the beginning, the GMB strived to provide an excellent event experience. Unfortunately over time, the logistics of the festival become more and more challenging. In 2015, the GMB staff was approached by the Michigan State University (MSU) Science Festival coordinators looking to learn from our festival experiences. The MSU Science Festival reaches over 30,000 people per year, and was seeking water focused presentations for elementary students. The result was a partnership that led to the Children’s Water Festival being permanently incorporated into the MSU event. This opportunity allowed the GMB to redirect its efforts while still achieving the goal of water education for youth. GMB volunteers and Tri-County staff continue to present and participate at the MSU Science Festival; it has merged into a beneficial partnership. Aerial Photography Since 2010, Tri-County has historically served as a liaison for coordinating aerial imagery flyovers of the Greater Lansing area every five years in partnership with our regional municipalities, the state, and various local and county agencies. In early March 2020, all aerial data was collected in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties by airplane. Early spring "leaf-off" conditions allowed for a higher quality of ground-level detail without the interference of leaves on trees. The aerial flyover provides Mid-Michigan with 3-inch resolution photographs of our landscape in our urbanized areas and 4-inch and 6-inch resolution in suburban and rural areas, respectively. Fortunately, snow in Spring 2020 allowed for earlier than usual aerial imagery collection. However, due to the coronavirus, the processing and delivery of collected data were delayed until late 2020 and early 2021. The project was completed in May 2021, and aerial data has been distributed to all the participating municipalities. Starting in 2024, Tri-County initiated organizing vendor selection and negotiations to prepare for the flyover. In 2025, Tri-County will again facilitate the aerial imagery flyover for our regional partners during this multi-month project. The 2025 flyover will be part of a region-wide effort coordinated with and funded by local, county, public utility, and state agencies. If you have questions, please contact GIS Coordinator Laura Tschirhart at LTschirhart@mitcrpc.org.(mailto:LTschirhart@mitcrpc.org) If you are interested in obtaining images from the regional flyovers, please contact the appropriate municipality. ByProduct Synergy https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined Achieving Pollution Prevention Success - Funded by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Pollution Prevention (P2) grant, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), in partnership with the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC), piloted a Byproduct Synergy (BPS) program (https://mitcrpc.box.com/v/ByProductSynergy)to reuse manufacturing byproducts. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined The pilot’s goal was to help manufacturers match byproduct streams to other facilities’ needs for raw materials, reducing quantities destined for disposal, and lowering the costs associated with purchasing raw materials. The BPS program identified, inventoried, and established public and private members - several businesses, townships, power companies, and water and sewer departments - and attempted to create specific synergistic relationships between its members. The Michigan ByProduct Synergy (BPS) program ran from October 2011 through September 2014, holding "Meet your Match" speed dating events, where businesses, agencies, producers and suppliers came together to see if they could find their match. Organizations from manufacturing, agriculture/food production, mineral recovery, transportation, processing/distribution, construction, and professional offices participated to improve efficiencies, save money, and re-think waste by-products. BPS aimed to: • repurpose what what has been traditionally considered waste. • reduce emissions • reduce energy, raw material, and disposal costs • improve productivity, profitability, regulatory compliance, and community relations • develop new products and markets • protect the environment and our natural resources • recude costs and waste Health Impact Assessment Tool Using funds from the Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability (MMPGS) HUD grant, the Mid-Michigan Health In All Program, MMPGS partners, Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, and Michigan State University partnered together to create the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Toolkit (https://hiatoolkit.weebly.com/)in 2015. The HIA tool was created to assist developers and other users with understanding the feasibility of a development and the impact it may have on the health of a population in our region. While decision makers in public and private sectors often have direct or indirect impact on individual and community health, health considerations are not commonly included in the planning and decision making process. This free, online Mapping and Impact Assessment Tool supports local leaders, community planners, landowners, developers, and the public in assessing the potential health, environmental, and social effects of policies and changes to the built environment. With this tool a user can locate a project on an online base map, select and visualize mapped information about that location and surrounding areas, and evaluate the project using an impact assessment checklist approach. Greening Mid-Michigan https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined Greening Mid-Michigan evolved from the Tri-County Regional Growth Study released in 2005, which built consensus on a preferred vision for land use growth in our communities over the next 25 years. The report recommended that “Open Space and Resource Protection” be promoted through region-wide planning efforts based on four main principles. • Farmland and other natural resources should be protected in an equitable, fiscally responsible manner to preserve the heritage, environment, quality of life and long-term sustainability of the region. • Pathways, sidewalks, trails and on-street bicycle facilities should be developed and enhanced to provide alternatives to motorized transportation, improve linkages to recreational opportunities for regional residents, and provide public health benefits by offering opportunities for physical activity. • Parks and recreation development and expansions should emphasize linkage of facilities through greenways based on the regional vision and the adopted Regional Non-Motorized Systems Plan. • The region’s significant built and living heritage, historic sites, cultural facilities and neighborhoods should be protected, preserved, and enhanced. With support from the Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability HUD grant funding, Tri-County led Greening Mid-Michigan and collaborated with regional groups over a three-year period, including the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance, The Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management, Clinton and Eaton Conservation Districts, the Land Use and Health Resource Team, local and county park and recreation departments, Ingham and Clinton Agricultural and Open Space Preservation Programs, and others, to develop a regional vision for green infrastructure planning for Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties.
