The Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) is pleased to announce that we have begun developing our next Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which will include transportation projects for FY2026-2029 in Kent and eastern Ottawa Counties. The Transportation Programming Study Group, a subcommittee of GVMC’s Technical Committee, will meet on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at 10:00 am and on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 10:00 am at GVMC’s Offices to select projects for the TIP. Safety, condition, and congestion deficient transportation facilities that will be considered for improvement during the TIP development process are on GVMC’s website. Please stay tuned for information on upcoming public meetings, public comment opportunities, and updates, which will be posted as they occur.

If you have questions about the TIP development process, please email Laurel Joseph, Director of Transportation Planning, or call (616) 776-7610.

Individuals with disabilities requiring auxiliary aids or services and persons requiring translation or interpretation assistance should email Andrea Faber or call (616) 776-7603.

Public notice of public participation activities and time established for public review of and comments on the TIP will satisfy the Program of Projects (POP) requirements for Section 5307 public involvement.
