LANSING, Mich. - The State Transportation Commission (STC) approved Michigan's draft state long-range transportation plan (SLRTP), Michigan Mobility 2050 (MM2050). With STC approval, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) can now open the public comment period, accepting public and stakeholder input. The MM2050 documents and public comment submission can be found on MDOT's website.

MM2050 defines the long-term direction for the future of Michigan's transportation network for all users. The plan incorporates an overall vision of the state's transportation system, as well as two additional federally required documents, the State Rail Plan and State Freight Plan. MM2050 also developed Michigan's active transportation plan. These four efforts combined into one provide a streamlined multimodal vision of the future of transportation in Michigan across all modes.

MDOT updated the SLRTP by reviewing the current Michigan Mobility 2045 plan (MM2045), reassessing its assumptions and making necessary adjustments to meet evolving federal requirements. As part of the effort, the planning horizon is extended to 2050 to maintain a 20-year outlook. The new MM2050 plan builds on the goals and strategies of MM2045 while incorporating updates that reflect changes in Michigan's transportation system over the past five years.
