MPOJC Transportation Technical Advisory Committee Meeting of November 10, 2026

At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the MPOJC Transportation Technical Advisory Committee approved recommending that the policy board amend the FY2027–2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to remove the US 6 project in Tiffin, between Roberts Ferry Road and Park Road. The grade-and-pave, culvert replacement, and right-of-way project had already been let and obligated, so it no longer needed to remain in the TIP; removing it restores roughly $3–4 million in fiscal capacity. The committee also approved recommending the current project-scoring criteria for the next funding cycle. The criteria will guide evaluation of applications and projects in the long-range plan, but do not require awards to follow scores. The funding under consideration covers two years: $9 million in Surface Transportation Block Grant funds, $560,000 in Carbon Reduction funds, and $830,000 in Transportation Alternatives funds. Applications are expected after the start of 2027. A motion to recommend adoption of the state’s safety performance targets also passed; no contract awards or vendor selections were made.

The committee reviewed the nearly complete Safe Streets and Roads for All safety action plan, including a proposed Vision Zero goal to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by 50% in 10 years, 80% in 20 years, and 100% in 30 years, and discussed recommending the resolution to the policy board. The committee also received an update on the long-range transportation plan, its project priorities, and infrastructure needs. These discussions may inform future grants and capital investments, but no specific projects were funded at this meeting.
