Fleet Electrification & Safety Infrastructure Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has funded fleet electrification, a new operations headquarters, and CAD/AVL procurement, signaling active modernization. A documented asset collision and public complaints about operator behavior highlight urgent gaps in fleet oversight, safety accountability, and operational risk management.
The opportunity
Capital improvement plan approvals and active vehicle purchases create a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan public entities can reduce procurement timelines and support responsible stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority has documented an asset collision and received public complaints about operator behavior, exposing significant gaps in real-time driver monitoring and incident accountability. With no telematics solution currently in place, the organization faces elevated safety, liability, and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active fleet electrification and infrastructure initiatives signal available budget and procurement momentum, making this an ideal time to layer in telematics. State cooperative contracts may reduce procurement timelines, and the project aligns with current fiscal planning cycles and public safety stewardship priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A $27.7M 911 dispatch center has been approved and budgeted, representing a major capital commitment to emergency communications infrastructure. Active NIMS compliance mandates, recent declared emergencies including flooding and a winter storm, and an identified mass notification consolidation gap elevate operational and funding-eligibility risk.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 through HSGP and BRIC create a defined, near-term funding window aligned with current procurement activity. Acting within this cycle maximizes federal funding leverage, advances NIMS compliance, and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.

ADA Compliance · Digital Service Delivery
High Priority
About this project
The authority has documented ADA and WCAG 2.1 accessibility commitments, with active investment in public-facing digital infrastructure including real-time passenger information. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure and risk excluding residents from essential transit services.
The opportunity
Funded digital enhancement initiatives already underway create a natural entry point to close compliance gaps within the current project cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances equity in service delivery, and aligns with ADA-driven compliance timelines.
Strengthen Credential Security and Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
The authority has an active MFA solution but no dedicated password management tool, leaving a critical credential security gap. Fragmented endpoint management tools and a prior database loss incident signal unresolved backup, recovery, and systems oversight vulnerabilities that elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity insurance mandates and an active grant window through July 2026 — including TEP and HSGP eligibility — create a time-sensitive funding pathway for this investment. Recent leadership transition opens a natural re-evaluation point, making now the right moment to close security gaps and strengthen long-term resilience.
IT Endpoint & Systems Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Data Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently relies on fragmented IT management tools, creating gaps in endpoint visibility, operational oversight, and data protection. A prior database loss incident underscores the urgency of consolidating systems to reduce recovery risk and ensure continuity of public services.
The opportunity
Ongoing IT renewal cycles present a timely procurement window to consolidate tools and reduce operational risk. This effort may be eligible for HSGP cybersecurity-adjacent funding ahead of the July 2026 deadline, aligning modernization with both fiscal planning and public safety outcomes.
