Program-SSCC-2020-Year-In-Review 2020 Year in Review South Shore Clean Cities About Us South Shore Clean Cities -- headquartered in St. John, Indiana -- is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization managed by Legacy Environmental Services, Inc., an Indiana Certified Women’s Business Enterprise. Designated as the 71st Clean Cities coalition on June 15, 1999, SSCC is one of the U.S. DOE’s nearly 100 Clean Cities coalitions across the country. Our Mission South Shore Clean Cities is a member-based coalition dedicated to promoting fuel - & technology-neutral sustainable transportation and clean energy options in Indiana. We guide our diverse membership base in the public, private and nonprofit sectors to increase the use and implementation of sustainable transportation methods and infrastructure. Our programs improve air quality, promote domestic fuels, strengthen the nation’s energy security, reduce dependence on imported oil and support local jobs and the local economy. By the Numbers In the last decade alone, South Shore Clean Cities members have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 607,000 tons and reduced the number of gasoline gallon equivalents by 93 million gallons. That is the equivalent of removing 175,500 passenger vehicles from the road for one year and eliminating the use of nearly 2 million barrels of oil.

Hudson Lake The Hudson Lake Station is a low-level boarding station and is therefore not wheelchair- accessible.

Passengers who wish to depart the train at this station should notify their conductor at the time they are collecting tickets. There are no ticket vending machines available to purchase tickets at this station so tickets must be purchased on the app or with cash from a conductor.

  • St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Residents of St
    PROMULGATION St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Residents of St. Joseph County, Indiana face the threat of disasters and emergencies. Recognizing this threat, government at all levels has a continuing responsibility for the health, safety and general welfare of its citizens. Normal day-to-day procedures usually are not sufficient for effective disaster response, as extraordinary emergency measures have to be implemented quickly if loss of life and property is to be kept to a minimum. Emergency procedures and actions to cope with the possibility of a disaster occurrence are addressed in the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. In accordance with Indiana Code Title 10, Health and Safety of the St. Joseph County Code Chapter 10.36.030.(11) A St. Joseph County Emergency Operations Plan shall be adopted by resolution of the Board of Commissioners, St. Joseph County, Indiana. This plan shall hereby be named the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. In order for our county's emergency management system to reach and maintain the goals desired, it will be necessary that each local department/agency perform the following functions: Develop procedures for the protection of personnel, equipment, supplies and critical public records from the effects of disasters. Develop procedures to ensure the continuity of essential services that may be needed during and after disasters. Attend scheduled emergency management related training and exercises conducted by local agencies/departments and St. Joseph County Emergency Management. Establish policy and develop Standard Operating Procedures to carry out the provisions of the St. Joseph County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
