Areawide TRI-county reginal planning commission (tcrpc) lansing urbanized area

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $837,612.54 to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on September 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the Areawide Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) Lansing Urbanized Area consolidated planning grant. This formula grant, obligated through September 30, 2031, supports regional transportation planning activities for the tri-county area encompassing Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties in Michigan. The funding enables MDOT to execute comprehensive planning services that support highway and transportation infrastructure development, preservation, and improvement initiatives consistent with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.

The award flows as a sub-grant to the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC), which serves as the primary sub-grantee responsible for delivering metropolitan transportation planning services and coordination activities in partnership with MDOT. TCRPC utilizes consolidated planning funds from FHWA and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) resources to conduct regional economic planning, provide planning assistance, undertake transportation and infrastructure planning studies, and support specialized initiatives such as the Michigan Avenue corridor transportation safety and operations improvement projects. This collaborative arrangement leverages TCRPC's expertise as a regional planning authority to advance multimodal transportation planning priorities and support the development of transportation networks serving the Lansing urbanized area.
