2. Planning and Transportation: Provides demographic and statistical data and research, GIS, regional transportation/transit planning, regional water quality management, and local land-use planning.
3. Community & Economic Development: Facilitates community infrastructure grants, economic development grants and affordable housing programs and business loan programs.
4. Workforce Development: Delivers adult and youth job training and support services.
