Traffic Count Program

Our traffic count program is going through some dramatic and exciting changes.  These changes will be noticeable to you through the streamlining of processes and procedures for how we handle requests, to collecting and processing counts, to managing our traffic count locations.

Please review the PDFs of our traffic counts for 2001-2005 by MPO, County, or view them all!  If you have questions, give us a call!

The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission (SWMPC) is gearing up to begin the 2008 traffic count season. As you may know, we do traffic counts for our local municipalities and economic development agencies within our region of Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties.

Please welcome our new Traffic Count Supervisor, Patricia Bly. Patricia knows southwest Michigan extremely well as a longtime resident.

Below you will find traffic count request forms for mail/fax requests and for e-mail requests.  Whether you request a count by mail or e-mail, please fill in all columns for each count you are requesting, putting higher priority counts at the top of the list.  If you have a map of the location(s) where you are requesting traffic counts, please send a copy with your request form.

Even if you do not plan to request counts in 2008, please complete a request form with your contact information (the section at the top of the form) so we can update our database to reflect the appropriate contact person for 2009.

Please mail or fax request forms and maps back to Patricia by April 18^th. You may also e-mail your requests to trafficcount@swmpc.org by saving the Excel form and attaching it to your electronic message.  We expect to start laying traffic counters out by May 1^st.
