MDOT to move forward with plans for reduced road and bridge program
The Michigan Department of Transportation said recently that the state is moving forward with plans to implement a reduced 2011-2014 road and bridge program.
At the State Transportation Commission’s April 29 meeting, MDOT said it was working with state and local transportation agencies to advance a reduced State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Due to declining state gas tax and vehicle registration revenues, MDOT is faced with a shortfall of at least $84 million to match available federal funding beginning in 2011.
