The Monroe County Road Commission has received a grant in order to replace four old trucks in our fleet. This project is supported by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Diesel Grant and administered by the Department of Environmental Quality. The 2017 Michigan Clean Diesel Grant Program has the following objectives:
- To implement vehicle or equipment replacements that reduce diesel engine particulate matter (PM2.5) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions.
-To assist the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in gaining or maintaining attainment of PM2.5 and Ozone (O3) levels under the federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
-To provide increased health benefits for near-roadway populations in high-traffic
urban/residential areas and in areas where the air quality is affected by diesel engine emissions from nearby stationary or mobile emission sources.
The grant will pay 25% cost (close to $200,000) to replace three old tandem axle trucks and one single axle truck with four new trucks. This project is located in a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality priority area for a National Ambient Air Quality Standard criteria pollutant and will significantly reduce diesel emissions in the community and the environment. This informative notice is published as a requirement of the grant participation.

Walk Bike Drive Safe
Pedestrians and bicyclists are much more likely to suffer an injury or fatality in a traffic crash than drivers. In fact, while pedestrian and bicycle crashes make up approximately one percent of all traffic crashes, they account for 30 percent of all traffic fatalities in
Southeast Michigan. With the increased interest in walking and biking across the region, it is everyone’s responsibility to keep our streets safe for all users, especially those most vulnerable.

SPECIAL INFORMATION
- MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S REALITY CHECK
There are many common myths and misconceptions about transportation in Michigan, from why MDOT replaces "perfectly good" signs to why current funding levels aren't enough to keep roads and bridges in good condition. Please click Transportation Reality Check for all of MDOT's myths and realities.
- MICHIGAN LOCAL ROADS MATTER
Michigan Local Roads Matter is a diverse coalition of groups from across Michigan joined in recognition that local road and bridge network is critical to business and economic development, to schools, to emergency response times and public safety, to seniors, to healthcare, to families, to agriculture, to tourism, to revitalization, to the economy, to every Michigan resident.
Summary: Deficient roadways cost Detroit area drivers $1,600 annually, Lansing area drivers $1,032 annually, and Grand Rapids area drivers $1,027 annually for a total of $7.7 billion statewide. Costs will rise and transportation woes will worsen without a significant funding boost.

To better serve the development community the Monroe County Economic Development Corporation has facilitated the creation of a guide that will “streamline the development processes” within Monroe County thus saving precious time, money and effort in getting projects up and running in the shortest possible time in our communities.
This Streamlining Guide is a partnership between all the county agencies (including the Monroe County Road Commission), authorities, municipalities and others that may become involved with the planning, permitting, construction and assistance in project developments here in Monroe County.
A recent development which was an outgrowth of the original publication of this document is the adoption of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Monroe County Road Commission and the Monroe County Drain Commission. This agreement was specifically designed to streamline and speed up the review of development proposals by these agencies.
