The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $249,903.48 to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on September 3, 2025, under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505). This formula grant supports the Areawide Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) Lansing Urbanized Area consolidated planning grant for Fiscal Year 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2031. The award funds comprehensive transportation planning activities that support the development of long-range transportation plans, transportation improvement programs (TIPs), Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWPs), and technical studies designed to enhance multimodal transportation planning and coordination within the tri-county region encompassing Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties in Michigan.

MDOT passes the funding through to the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) as the sub-awardee to conduct metropolitan area transportation planning. The TCRPC delivers planning assistance and technical analyses that incorporate public input for transportation system design and project selection, support balanced multimodal transportation planning, and address mobility, safety, and connectivity across the urbanized area. These planning activities enable informed transportation investment decisions and ensure compliance with federal transportation planning requirements for the Lansing urbanized area.
