The State Transportation Commission (STC) approved the final version of the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) 2024-2028 Five-Year Transportation Plan (5YTP) last week.
The 5YTP has a list of planned projects for the MDOT Highway Program (state-maintained roads, bridges, and facilities), as well as information on the Public Transportation, Rail, and Aeronautics programs. The document helps connect MDOT’s long-range goals and strategies for asset management with project programming and monitoring of performance measures and budget targets.
Some projects included in this year's 5YTP include:
- $15.8 billion in anticipated state and federally funded investments, with:
- $11.2 billion in Highway Program projects focused primarily on repairing and rebuilding MDOT roads and bridges, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s $3.5 billion Rebuilding Michigan program contributing more than $592 million to that total.
- $4.7 billion in multimodal programs, covering MDOT Public Transportation (bus, marine, rail and ports) at $3.7 billion, and Aeronautics at $989 million.
- Highlights on Highway, Public Transportation, and Aeronautics program projects contributing to MDOT’s focus on equity and inclusion, transportation resiliency, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements.
