Areawide areawide: southeast michigan council of governments (semcog)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $10.5 million to the Michigan Department of Transportation on June 26, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award funds the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) Unified Work Program (UWP) for the fiscal year 2025-2026 period (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). The funding supports consolidated planning activities across the seven-county Southeast Michigan region, encompassing Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties.

The grant provides resources to carry out the metropolitan planning process as defined in the UWP, which constitutes the foundational planning framework for transportation infrastructure development and improvement in the areawide region. These planning activities support the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of transportation projects that align with federal-aid highway program requirements and regional transportation priorities, enabling the coordination of highway construction, preservation, and multimodal transportation improvements across the Southeast Michigan metropolitan area.
