The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major area for improvement. Municipalities can seize this opportunity by creating efficient, accessible, and low-carbon transportation solutions for their community. Expanding the existing transit network to include a variety of non-motorized, electric, and public transportation options can work to advance mobility while also reducing the local carbon footprint.
The following provides tangible actions catalyst communities can take to enable a just transition to decarbonization as it pertains to supporting clean and inclusive mobility, and coincides with Michigan Green Communities. Relevant resources, webinars, and community examples accompany each action below.

Commit to, plan for, and implement projects that provide inclusive and safer mobility and access for all roadway users--including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motor vehicles--regardless of age, ability, or income. For instance, a municipality may want to adopt a Complete Streets policy that requires transportation projects to accommodate for the entire network of users.

Educate on, plan for, and implement projects to enhance the use of public transportation and other sustainable mobility options. Electrification is not the only way to decarbonize the transportation sector - reducing the number of vehicles on the road also plays a large role. Municipalities can support public transit, ride sharing, and non-motorized travel through deliberate infrastructure and incentive programs.
