Consultation is Underway for FY2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The consultation period for the FY2026-2029 TIP has begun!

Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) is seeking input on the Fiscal Year 2026-2029 TIP draft project lists from Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies responsible for land use management, natural resources, environmental protection, conservation, and historic preservation to foster cooperation and promote communication with these organizations.

GVMC is asking that consulted organizations look over the proposed project lists available here and the corresponding map and compare them with any projects or planned projects that their organization may be undertaking. (For example, using inventories of natural or historic resources, please note if there are transportation projects that will interact or interfere with your organization’s future policies or programs.) Then, we ask that you provide your analysis of the information provided, including your opinion of how well the information was presented and the mitigation strategies you would offer to limit the impact of proposed transportation projects on the environment, your organization’s plans, or people that you serve.

Comments or concerns regarding these projects should be submitted to Andrea Faber, Senior Transportation Planner, by Monday, March 10th, 2025. Comments can be mailed to the address below, submitted over the phone (616) 776-7603, by email, or by using the “submit a comment” button.
