LANSING, Mich. - Today, the State Transportation Commission (STC) approved posting the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) draft 2027-2031 Five-Year Transportation Program (5YTP) and interactive map to the MDOT website for public comment. MDOT invites the public to visit the website for more information on the 5YTP, a summary video and options on how to provide comments. Public input on the draft document will be open from July 31 to Aug. 31.

The 5YTP contains a list of planned projects for the MDOT Highway Program (state-maintained roads, bridges and facilities), as well as information on the public transportation, rail and aeronautics programs. The document helps connect MDOT's long-range goals and strategies for asset management with project programming and monitoring of performance measures and budget targets.

The 5YTP is required to be delivered to the Michigan Legislature by March 1 each following calendar year, serves as a foundation for the biennial State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and aids in the development of the annual state budget.

Highlights of this year's 5YTP include:

• $19.4 billion in anticipated state and federally funded investments with an estimated:
• • $13.7 billion in Highway Capital Program projects focused primarily on repairing and rebuilding MDOT roads and bridges, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's $3.5 billion Rebuilding Michigan program contributing $130 million to that total,
  • $4.8 billion for the Public Transportation Program, covering local bus, intercity bus, marine passenger, vanpooling, port, freight rail and passenger rail programs, and
  • $905.7 million for the Aeronautics Program, including federal, state and local aviation programs.
• The estimated benefits of these investments to the Michigan economy over the next five years, including more than 110,000 jobs supported by highway program investments and more than 82,000 jobs supported by investments in public transit.
• A list of trunkline Highway Program construction projects by county planned for state and/or federal funding over the next five years.
• Highlights on MDOT initiatives that relate to safety innovations and statewide travel information resources as well as progress updates on MDOT goals and performance measures.
