LANSING, Mich. - Today, the State Transportation Commission (STC) approved the final version of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 2027-2031 Five-Year Transportation Program (5YTP) for posting on the MDOT website and transmission to the Michigan Legislature, state budget director, and the House and Senate fiscal agencies by March 1, 2027, as required under state statute. MDOT invited public input on the draft document from July 31 to Aug. 31.

The 5YTP contains a list of planned projects for the MDOT Trunkline Highway program (state-maintained roads, bridges and facilities), as well as information on the Public Transportation, Rail and Aeronautics programs. The document establishes a link between MDOT's long-range asset management goals and strategies and the project programming process. It also supports the monitoring of performance measures and investment targets while providing a foundation for trunkline projects included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

This year's 5YTP includes $19.4 billion in anticipated state and federally funded investments, with:

• $13.7 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 $130 million to that total,
• $5.7 billion in multimodal programs, covering MDOT Public Transportation (bus, marine, rail and ports) at $4.8 billion and Aeronautics at $906 million,
• The estimated economic and performance impacts of highway and multimodal program investments,
• A list of trunkline Highway Program construction projects by county planned for state and/or federal funding over the next five years, and
• A summary of results from the public comment period.
