eICS is a web-based Electronic Incident Command System that is used to facilitate incident planning and response for incidents that impact the region. It is the primary communication platform for information sharing and situational awareness for the MARC HCC. The course will cover setting up/editing the User Profile, Contact Preferences, registering your mobile device, accessing the regional library, responding to incidents and communication tests, entering incident logs, as well as the mobile app.

As part of the Regional Bikeway Plan Update, MARC is holding two workshops to understand the needs, challenges, and barriers to implementation of active transportation infrastructure. Please consider joining us as we talk about these issues in depth.

Walk with us and share your perspective! 

The Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor project team is coming to a location near you and asking for your participation in a series of walking audits! 

Walking audits are great tools for experiencing and understanding together, in real time, how people move around the corridor today. Together, we will look at sidewalks, crossings, transit access, development, and public spaces to see what works well and what needs improvement.

Training Description

This training explores how early childhood educators serve as the starting point of ripples that reach far beyond the classroom. Using Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, we will dive into the ways classroom practices shape children's cognitive growth.

Through dialogue, reflection and practical strategies educators will leave with strategies to nurture potential, strengthen ecosystems of support and embrace their role as ripples of lasting transformation.

This is an external community event.

Celebrate the beauty of fall by walking a different trail every Sunday in October. With crisp air, vibrant colors, and scenic views, it’s the perfect time to get outside and get moving. Each week showcases a new trail, highlighting autumn’s most spectacular landscapes while encouraging healthy, active living.

Leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun. The first 200 participants at each location will receive a commemorative Walktober button designed by artist Alex Hamil—collect all four by attending every event!

Please save the date for the next Managers Roundtable meeting. Additional information will be available soon.
