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.
