LANSING, MI — The State Transportation Commission approved the final version of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 2026-2030 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, as required under state statute. MDOT invited public and stakeholder input on the draft document from August 1 to September 1, 2025.
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 helps connect MDOT's long-range goals and strategies for asset management with project programming and monitoring of performance measures and budget targets, and it sets a foundation for trunkline projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program. This year’s 5YTP includes $16.1 billion in anticipated state and federally funded investments:
- $10.7 billion in Highway Program projects focused primarily on repairing and rebuilding MDOT roads and bridges, with Governor Gretchen Whitmer's $3.5 billion Rebuilding Michigan program contributing more than $31.5 million to that total
- $5.4 billion in Multimodal Programs, covering MDOT Public Transportation (bus, marine, rail, and ports) at $4.5 billion, and aeronautics at $900 million.
The 5YTP also features a list of trunkline Highway Program construction projects by county planned for state and/or federal funding over the next five years, as well as a summary of results from the public comment period.
