Step on Board Public Meeting
The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) and Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) are working together to update the Locally Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (LOCHSTP). The plan’s purpose is to identify community resources for transportation, understand the gaps and unmet needs, and to develop strategies to address those gaps and unmet needs.

Water
TMACOG and its partners are protecting our greatest natural resource every day. We plan for water supply and wastewater treatment in a five-county area adjacent to the western Lake Erie basin. We look at natural watersheds for the best ways to protect surface water. We work with farmers to keep land productive while keeping excess nutrients out of rivers and lakes. We help governments manage stormwater and municipal treatment facilities. And we help teachers build stewardship in the next generation.
Transportation
A well-designed transportation system serves the entire community in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. We need it all to work together: highways and railroads, airports and city streets, bike paths and pipelines. TMACOG planners look at connections between modes, address safety issues, consider commuters, bus riders, people who use wheelchairs, semi truck drivers, and bicyclists.
Public Meetings
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our council and committee meetings are operating through video conferencing.
Map Portal
TMACOG's Map Portal allows users to access and interact with our data in an interactive and clickable web-based mapping environment. The data contained on this site has been collected from within the region or created by TMACOG staff and helps in the regional planning process.
Member Resources
TMACOG is a voluntary organization of dues-paying members. Members include governmental and non-governmental organizations in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan: cities, counties, villages and townships, as well as schools and colleges, park districts, businesses and other groups concerned with quality of life in the region. Members join TMACOG to work together on common problems that cross jurisdictional borders - specifically transportation, and air and water issues.
TMACOG has no political affiliation and no partisan agenda. It is a neutral forum for all members to come together to address topics that concern the entire region.
