Coordinated Mobility Plan: Prosperity Region 4 Coordinated Mobility Plan: Prosperity Region 4 Counties Allegan Barry Ionia Lake Kent Mason Mecosta Montcalm Muskegon Newago Oceana Osceola Ottawa May 2016 Prepared for Michigan 2-1-1 and Michigan Department of Transportation Prepared by KFH Group, Inc. Bethesda, Maryland Acknowledgements This plan is a component of a Veterans Transit Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) grant through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Michigan 2-1-1 and the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Office of Passenger Transportation led a statewide transportation study to identify regional gaps in mobility, particularly for people with limited transportation options such as veterans, older adults, individuals with disabilities and people with lower incomes. The result of the statewide study is ten coordinated mobility plans based geographically on Governor Snyder’s Prosperity Initiative. This is the Coordinated Mobility Plan for Prosperity Region 4. The statewide study built upon efforts by MDOT and Regional Planning Agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations to document what is known about regional transit mobility. These efforts were in response to the Governor’s special message to the legislature on the topic of aging, titled “Making Michigan a Great Place to Live Well and Age Well”. Advisory Committee The statewide transportation study was guided by the following advisory committee: Tom Page, Michigan 2-1-1 Clark Harder, Michigan Public Transit Scott Dzurka, Michigan Association of United Association Ways Donna McDowell, City of Livonia Maricela Alcala, Gryphon Place 2-1-1 MaLissa Schutt, Shiawassee Area Andy Brush, Michigan Dept of Transportation Transportation Agency Gale Capling, Clinton Area Transit System Valerie Shultz, Michigan Dept of Felicia Cross, City of Livonia Transportation Corey Davis, Muskegon Area Transit System Sheryl D. Thompson, Michigan Dept of Health Sarah Green, The Rapid and Human Services Hassan Hammoud, United Way for Linda Tokarski, Gryphon Place 2-1-1 Southeastern Michigan Authority Sherri Vainavicz, Heart of West Michigan Vanessa Hansle, Ann Arbor Transportation United Way Regional Assistance The West Michigan Regional Planning Commission and the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission provided assistance throughout the development of this plan, including reviewing interim documents and helping to coordinate outreach efforts. Input from a wide range of stakeholders was a key component in the study. Special thanks to the stakeholders who participated in a regional workshop and provided input throughout the planning process. Their input was especially beneficial in the assessment of transportation needs in the region, and in the development of potential strategies, activities and projects to improve mobility. In addition, appropriate information and pictures were obtained from the websites of some regional stakeholders. Consultant Team KFH Group, Inc. conducted outreach efforts, facilitated the regional workshop and led the development of this regional plan.

Background Chapter 1 Background INTRODUCTION Michigan 2‐1‐1 is a free, confidential service that provides information and referral to transportation services, health and human services, community preparedness, and crisis information. A program of the Michigan Association of United Ways (MAUW), Michigan 2‐1‐1 works with eight regional 2‐1‐1 providers on a shared/common delivery platform to connect Michiganders with over 7,800 agencies offering over 29,000 services across the state. With funding from a Veterans Transit Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) grant through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Michigan 2‐1‐1 and their partners are developing the joint capacity to provide One‐Call/One‐Click service to Michigan residents to assist with individual trip planning and to address transportation barriers limiting opportunities for employment, health care, recreation and other personal needs. The VTCLI grant, supplemented with state and federal funding administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Office of Passenger Transportation, involved a statewide transportation study to identify regional gaps in mobility, particularly for people with limited transportation options such as veterans, older adults, individuals with disabilities, and people with lower incomes. The study also involved identifying actions that can be taken by local transportation providers and Michigan 2‐1‐1 to increase regional mobility. Input from a wide range of stakeholders was a key component in the

The Study looks for ways to add to and improve the network, recommends land use best practices and other policies to help grow ridership, and determines the improvements the public would like to see for the system. This study builds upon The Rapid’s previous transit projects, The Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and the Laker Line BRT, to identify opportunities to improve and potentially expand transit service within the urbanized area. The study explores the feasibility of implementing new BRT corridors, constructing infrastructure enhancements to improve bus travel time and reliability statistics, along with introducing amenity enhancements to improve rider comfort at bus stops and improve the visibility of transit in the community.
