Modernize Emergency Operations and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Significant emergency preparedness gaps exist, including the absence of a single published Emergency Operations Plan and no confirmed mass-notification capability. Recent utility outage investigations have exposed public-facing communication failures, elevating operational risk and reinforcing the agency's mandated role in energy emergencies requiring NIMS adoption.
The opportunity
An active investigation into utility communication failures creates a defined, near-term window to address compliance and operational gaps before risk escalates further. This initiative aligns with NIMS mandates, energy emergency preparedness requirements, and state procurement pathways that can accelerate implementation within the current planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The MPSC faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 for its public-facing digital properties, with strategic initiatives explicitly prioritizing website accessibility and digital services. Failure to meet this federal mandate risks public access inequity, legal exposure, and reputational harm to the agency.
The opportunity
A dedicated budget increase of $167,400 has been allocated specifically for federal digital accessibility compliance, confirming organizational readiness and reducing funding risk. An active RFP for related administration signals an open procurement window, making this an ideal moment to advance compliant, accessible digital services ahead of the 2027 deadline.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active rulemaking around utility cybersecurity reporting is creating direct compliance obligations, requiring agencies to demonstrate adequate tooling and oversight controls. Password management practices have been flagged as a gap, elevating credential-based risk across systems and staff access points.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program explicitly supports computer technology, information systems, and cybersecurity initiatives, offering a viable funding path with limited local match. Acting within the current grant and fiscal planning cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens operational resilience across critical infrastructure oversight functions.

IT Modernization · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A identified budget increase signals growing investment in IT operations, yet gaps in endpoint visibility and grant management tooling create operational and compliance risk. Federal grant programs explicitly permitting information systems and computer technology provide a defined funding pathway to address these needs.
The opportunity
Available JAG Program funding aligned with IT and information systems tools, combined with a confirmed budget increase, creates a timely financial path to act within the current planning cycle. Advancing this project now reduces operational risk and positions the agency to steward public resources more effectively.

Discuss this project →Transportation Electrification Fleet Planning Initiative
Fleet Modernization · Sustainability & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Transportation Electrification Plan has been designated a high-priority strategic initiative with elevated urgency, driven by regulatory requirements and long-range planning mandates. Without structured planning, agencies risk delayed compliance, stranded assets, and missed windows for infrastructure investment.
The opportunity
Active planning momentum and high prioritization signal near-term procurement decisions, making this an ideal moment to align technology and infrastructure investments with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Electrification initiatives are broadly eligible for state and federal funding, reducing local budget burden while advancing sustainability and regulatory goals.
