The Muskegon and Northern Ottawa County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which is responsible for transportation planning in the Muskegon and Northern Ottawa County area, is seeking public comment on the transportation planning process.
The planning process includes the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Unified Work Program (UWP), Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Program of Projects (POP), the Fiscal Year 2026 – 2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and other agenda items.
The TIP is developed in a cooperative effort between federal, state, and local officials and serves as the final link in the transportation planning process. The primary purpose of the TIP is to identify transportation programs and projects to be funded with federal aid in accordance with federal law and regulations. This TIP is an outline of the transportation needs of Muskegon County and Northern Ottawa County for the next four years. The MTP looks at the MPO’s future transportation network with the intention of being used as a guideline for transportation investment. The FTA POP includes 5307 and 5308 funding categories for the Muskegon Area Transit System (MATS) and Harbor Transit. Recommendations for new construction, safety improvements, congestion (traffic) management, air quality, non-motorized, transit, planning, etc. will be accepted.
