Michigan’s State Transportation Commission (STC) approved the final version of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 2027-2031 Five-Year Transportation Program (5YTP) on Thursday.
MDOT now has until March 1 to submit the document to the Michigan Legislature, state budget director, and the House and Senate fiscal agencies and post it on its website.
The document links MDOT’s long-range asset management goals and strategies with the project programming process, supports the monitoring of performance measures and investment targets, and provides a foundation for trunkline projects included in the State Transportation Improvement Program.
The 5YTP contains planned projects from the MDOT Trunkline Highway program, and the public transportation, rail and aeronautics programs. It includes $19.4 billion in anticipated state and federally funded investments with $906 million allocated to aeronautics, $4.8 billion to MDOT Public Transportation and $5.7 billion in multimodal programs.
The Rebuilding Michigan program contributes more than $130 million to the $13.7 billion in Highway Program projects. The projects focused primarily on repairing and rebuilding MDOT roads and bridges.
The 5YTP also contains the estimated economic and performance impacts of highway and multimodal program investments, and a list of trunkline Highway Program construction projects by county planned for state and/or federal funding over the next five years.
