Planned Transportation Spending
An examination of Michigan’s 2011-2014 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals that road maintenance/minor widening projects account for the largest chunk of the planned spending (36 percent). Transit projects follow, comprising 28 percent of the STIP.* Bridge maintenance/replacement projects account for14 percent of the planned spending, while new road capacity projects make up 9 percent of the STIP. Projects classified as “other” account for 4 percent. Bridge capacity expansion projects and safety projects each are 3 percent of the planned spending; bicycle/pedestrian projects 2 percent. Road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway) account for less than 1 percent of the STIP. share
