MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 2019-2023 FIVE-YEAR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM Draft by the State Transportation Commission on July 21, 2018 2019-2023 FIVE-YEAR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM Dear Reader: I present to you the 2019-2023 Five-Year Transportation Program, a detailed accounting of the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) stewardship of the highway, bridge, public transit, rail, aviation, marine, and nonmotorized programs. This transportation program represents $11 billion in multi-modal transportation investments over the next five-year timeframe. The 2019-2023 Five-Year Transportation Program utilizes all available federal and state funding in order to progress toward the vision and goals set forth in the 2040 MI Transportation Plan, the state long-range transportation plan. Despite greater certainty about future investment levels, decision-makers will need to be strategic in the future, as funding levels continue to lag the overall needs across transportation modes. Future investments will also need to take into account rapidly changing vehicle and infrastruc- ture technologies that may alter the transportation system as we have known it. MDOT annually updates its Five-Year Transportation Program, which provides information on multi-modal revenues available, expected investments, performance measures, and a list of planned road and bridge projects. Projects presented within this program are within MDOT's jurisdiction, which includes all state-owned roads/highways with an I, M or US designation (for example: I-94, M-21, and US-23). For the other modes presented (public transportation and aviation), the majority of the assets are owned, managed and operated by other entities. Therefore, the federal and state funding represented in this document may be only a portion of the total investment. MDOT consistently works to deliver the program in the most effective and efficient way possible. MDOT is determined to provide the highest quality integrated transportation services for economic benefit and improved quality of life in the safest and most efficient way possible. The department is always striving to be better, faster, cheaper, safer, and smarter. Read more about MDOT policies and programs on the department's website at www.michigan.gov/mdot. Thank you for your interest in the Five-Year Transportation Program. Sincerely, Kirk T.

Over the years, the 5YTP has ushered through important legislative road funding packages at the state and federal levels, including Build Michigan, Jobs Today, Preserve First, the American Rebuilding and Recovery Act (ARRA), and the most recent fuel and registration changes for the benefit of transportation improvements. One major challenge of long-term planning is that transportation funding is largely subject to an annual appropriation, meaning that transportation funding can fluctuate annually, requiring adjustments across the board.
