SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, has awarded $2,812,081 in Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding for four projects for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 and FY 2023. SEMCOG will consider additional projects in March, June, and September 2022.
TAP projects are transportation-related improvements to roadways, local streets, and corridors. Most often, they address mobility options through new or enhanced bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. This includes things such as pathways, bike lanes, sidewalks, and pedestrian crossings. These projects improve the existing transportation system, while providing safe new options to help people connect to transit, regional trails, and core service destinations. TAP can also fund green infrastructure projects that mitigate environmental concerns from the road network.
