The Michigan Department of Transportation unveiled its five-year transportation plan for road projects throughout the state from 2024-2028.

According to MDOT, the plan is now available to review with public comment open from Aug. 7 through Sept. 8.

Each year, MDOT unveils a five-year plan to outline different investments across all models as early in the planning process as possible. This plan includes the program requirements, featured projects and more.

This year's plan focuses on three areas: Equality and inclusion, transportation resiliency and better pedestrian and bicycle accommodations with MDOT's Complete Streets program.

According to MDOT, the equity & inclusion portion includes projects that work to ensure inclusion in the planning process and where equitable distribution of benefits are a major focus.

Transportation resilience projects are ones that contribute to safety and sustainability, and the complete streets projects are those that include enhancements of nonmotorized and active transportation connections.
