      <image:title>MATS Overview - What is MATS?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Midland Area Transportation Study (MATS) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Midland urbanized area. An MPO is a federally designated, multi-agency committee with professional staff that is responsible for regional transportation planning in urbanized areas. Its designation allows local governments to coordinate on transportation issues and access federal and state transportation funding. The MATS planning area includes all of Midland County, the City of Auburn and Williams Charter Township in Bay County, and Tittabawassee Township in Saginaw County. By bringing together multiple local governments and agencies, MATS provides a formal structure for regional transportation planning and ensures compliance with federal requirements for metropolitan areas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Committee Members - MATS COMMITTEES</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Midland Area Transportation Study (MATS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is guided by representatives from local governments and transportation agencies who work together to plan for the region’s transportation needs. MATS is governed by two primary committees: the Policy Committee and the Technical Committee, supported by various subcommittees. Members are appointed by participating local jurisdictions and agencies to help guide regional transportation planning, policies, and funding decisions. Together, these committees ensure that transportation planning follows a comprehensive, cooperative, and continuing (3C) process. This approach encourages coordination among local governments, transportation agencies, and the public while ensuring that local priorities and community perspectives are considered throughout the planning process. Through this collaborative process, MATS evaluates transportation conditions, gathers public input, and identifies strategies to address regional transportation needs. This work helps guide transportation investments based on regional priorities and available funding through plans and programs such as the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). MATS staff support this work through day-to-day planning, coordination, and administration of regional transportation programs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Long-Range Transportation Plan - LRTP Process Overview</image:title>
      <image:caption>The process for the creation of this plan involved many aspects, beginning with the vision, goals, objectives. Next, the area’s background and history, land use, and demographics were all analyzed relative to the transportation system. Previous reports were reviewed related to non-motorized transportation, air travel, freight and traffic safety. Data was gathered regarding the current and past condition of our streets and roads, traffic volumes and patterns. Then, travel demand modeling was performed analyzing the effect of expected growth and pinpointing areas of traffic deficiencies. Based on the findings from these aspects the overall long-range strategy was developed focusing on critical local factors. Finally, the implementation plan, i.e. the prioritized project list, was carefully prepared. A thorough financial resource analysis was conducted, comparing expected revenues to project costs. This is a requirement to ensure a fiscally constrained plan. Environmental mitigation analysis and environmental justice analysis were conducted, as required. Finally, MATS has aimed to ensure a broad and inclusive level of public input for this plan. Open houses, public notice of meetings, surveys, and advertising were all utilized in this process. The input gleaned from all of these interactions has been instrumental in the development of Towards 2045 and will be central to the activities of MATS going forward as well.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Long-Range Transportation Plan - Findings &amp; Conclusions</image:title>
      <image:caption>This process supported the synergistic approach developed early in the visioning phase for the LRP, and the analysis of the data gathered subsequently. The resulting four integrated core strategies of the Plan were: Preservation, Maintenance, Safety, and Livability. The goals and objectives of the Plan therefore truly promote an integrated multi-modal transportation system focused on addressing the needs of all users. The travel demand model forecasted only occasional congestion issues, with few segments showing daily capacity deficiency and even fewer showing current or projected peak period capacity deficiency. This largely validates the focus on maintenance and reconstruction and led to the development of the prioritized project list, which strives to address the goals of the plan by utilizing the four core strategies. The prioritized projects in this plan thus address the primary issue of aging infrastructure, and have an identified source of funding, thereby ensuring a fiscally constrained plan. The conclusions reached clearly indicated that the existing network was not urgently in need of expansion; that operations (traffic flows), were overall very good; and that demographic forecasts predicted low but steady growth.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Long-Range Transportation Plan - Prioritized Projects 2022-2045</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Plan identifies the investments that we will need to make in our transportation system. Due to the expansiveness and the age of our transportation system, the emphasis is toward projects that rebuild and preserve our existing system. The prioritized 2022-2045 transportation projects are located throughout the MATS planning area. Thus the environmental review showed that no environmental resources or population groups are disproportionately neglected or overexposed in relation to these projects. The needs of the minority and low-income population are being taken into consideration with respect to future transportation improvements. In light of Federal requirements, performance measures were introduced that, over time, will be fully integrated into the MATS planning process. This further reflects the fact that plans are more effective if their outcomes can be measured, and therefore projects can be more effectively programmed. Lastly, the plan presents a large number future transportation projects which fall outside of estimated reasonably expected transportation revenues, but which are still needed to maintain the transportation infrastructure at adequate levels. This strongly indicates that needs will continue to exceed resources in the near term at least. Achieving the goals laid out in the pages of Towards 2045 will require a concerted, coordinated effort on behalf of elected officials, local agencies, and the public. The result will be a more sustainable, equitable, and innovative region that is ready to compete and prosper on the national and global stage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The public comment period for the MATS FY 2026–2029 TIP ran from April 14, 2025, to May 18, 2025. During this time, community members had multiple opportunities to review and provide feedback on the draft TIP report and proposed list of transportation projects. Two public open houses were held to gather input in person: on April 17, 2025, at the Loon’s game at Dow Diamond and on May 7, 2025, at the Midland Farmer’s Market. Many community members attended and engaged with MATS staff at these events; however, no formal public comments were submitted during the comment period. The draft report and proposed project list were also made available online, with a form provided for public feedback. These engagement efforts ensured the community had ample opportunity to review and discuss the proposed TIP projects, even though no formal comments were received.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Asset Management Overview - What is Asset Management?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Municipal Infrastructure Asset Management (MIAM) refers to the systematic process of planning, acquiring, operating, maintaining, upgrading, and disposing of infrastructure assets in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. The goal of MIAM is to provide efficient and reliable services to the public while ensuring that infrastructure assets are managed in a way that maximizes their useful life and minimizes the total cost of ownership. MIAM involves the collection and analysis of data on infrastructure assets, including their condition, usage, and performance, as well as an assessment of future needs. This information is used to prioritize and allocate resources for maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement, and to make informed decisions about investment in new infrastructure. In Michigan, the state legislature has created an organizational framework to implement these principles for publicly owned infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and water/sewer systems. This framework is overseen by the Michigan Infrastructure Council and implemented by the Transportation Asset Management Council and the Water Asset Management Council, which together help to guide investment, maintenance, and utilization of these assets.</image:caption>
