It's National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌

Every school day, millions of children board a yellow school bus—the safest way to get to and from school. But safety doesn’t end at the bus doors. It requires every driver, lawmaker, and community member to take responsibility. When the red lights flash and the stop arm extends, we all face one simple choice: stop. 🚫

Hey Greater Lansing, the Michigan Infrastructure Council (MIC) needs your help! 🛣️

MIC is conducting a short online survey to help shape a new statewide guide that explains how essential infrastructure systems work, who maintains them, and how decisions about improvements are made.

MIC's Citizen’s Guide to Infrastructure Systems will help residents better understand the roads, drinking water, energy, Internet, and other services we rely on every day. The council is seeking public input to identify the infrastructure topics and questions residents want addressed in the guide, which is expected to be available in spring 2027.

The survey is available online now, and all responses must be submitted by Friday, October 30.

Take the survey at https://loom.ly/6Xman74. 📃

Every day, we rely on infrastructure systems like drinking water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, wastewater, roads, bridges, and internet service, but most of us only think about these systems when things go wrong. When something stops working, we are left with questions: Why isn’t this working?...

Water connects every part of our lives—from farmers who grow the food we eat to local businesses that fuel our economy, to friends and neighbors gathering in parks and playgrounds. Clean, reliable water is the thread that holds our communities, futures, and livelihoods together. 💧

We’re proud to celebrate Imagine A Day Without Water, highlight how clean water sustains everything we depend on, and emphasize why access to it is a fundamental human need.

Visit mitcrpc.org/environment to learn how we educate residents to protect their water at the source.
