For LT Info, development efforts this year will focus on the integration of data across the applications on LTINFO (and beyond) to better connect actions to outcomes.  For example, we will connect performance measures (from EIP Tracker) with intermediate results (from the Monitoring Dashboard) to ultimate goals (Threshold Dashboard). This will enable TRPA and other partners to better evaluate the effectiveness of projects, TRPA's Regional Plan, and the wider EIP program in promoting threshold attainment.
