TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a 4-year financial program that describes the schedule for obligating federal funds to state and local projects. The TIP contains funding information for all modes of transportation including highways, transit capital, and operating costs. State, regional and local transportation agencies update the program each year to reflect priority projects in the LRP. The TIP was developed with local transportation agencies, SEMCOG and MDOT. Changes can be made through amendments and modifications three times a year. Visit miwats.org/tip to see the most recent approved TIP and proposed changes.

Name of Project: 1-Way to 2-Way Conversion Feasibility Study
Project Description: It is the intent of the City of Ypsilanti, in partnership with the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study (WATS), to hire a consultant to engage in a transportation planning and feasibility study to improve the function of Lowell Street and Huron Street, with associated preliminary concept drawings. This study will consider the potential return to two-way function of this existing one-way pair, as well as the addition and potential location of a shared-use path bridging a gap in the existing Border To Border Trail between Ann St and Forest St. Although preliminary concept drawings should be included, the scope of this feasibility study does not and cannot include designing the project. Proposals are due December 28th, 2025 by 4:30 PM.
