REPORT
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE - LAWRENCE R, PERNICK, CHAIRMAN
IN RE: COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING PROJECT & GRANT - TRAFFIC IMPROVE-
MENT ASSOCIATION OF OAKLAND COUNTY,
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is the second year of a three year grant under the State Office of
Highway Safety Planning for the Comprehensive Traffic Engineering Project to
the Traffic Improvement Association (T1A),
The T1A is a private, non-profit organization created in 1967 by a
committee of public officials, businessmen and community leaders under the
provisions of Act No. 327 of the Public Acts of 1931.
The purpose of this independent, autonomous, self-governing organization
is to promote traffic safety improvements through encouraging and supporting
the traffic safety efforts of public officials, public organizations, schools
and civic and business groups.
The Oakland County Government has been supportive of this organization
by appropriating $20,000 annually for several years.
Most communities do not have financial resources available or access to
free technical assistance to resolve traffic engineering problems nor do they
employ trained traffic engineers,
Most efforts to implement traffic engineering improvements have been un-
coordinated and there is no mechanism for developing a master highway system
plan on a County-wide basis,
This grant of 8123,800 is 6.5%, or $8,600 lower than last year, It runs
from 4/1/76 to 3/30/77 and is fully funded by Federal Funds, requiring no
County contributions,
These funds will be used to continue to employ a full time staff and to
obtain technical expertise on a consulting basis (as per attached schedule) in
order to reduce Oakland County's traffic losses. Oakland County has been the
prime sponsor of this grant.
The Finance Committee, by Lawrence R. Pernick, Chairman, recommends the
acceptance of the foregoing report.
