FY 2024 TIP Annual Obligated Federal Funding List

Under federal law, TMACOG is responsible for producing an annual listing of federal funds that are obligated in the previous fiscal year for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

In fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024), federal money obligated for transportation projects in Lucas and Wood counties included approximately $67 million for 112 projects.

Federally obligated means that federal funds were approved to be used for certain projects. This does not mean that the project was under construction during the prior fiscal year. These funds may include debt payment to build infrastructure that has already been completed, or phases of a future project such as preliminary engineering or right-of-way acquisition.

These projects include roadway, bridge, transit, pedestrian, and bikeway improvements. This listing includes projects with federal funding and does not include road projects funded solely with state or local funds.

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Implementation Plan Approved

The TMACOG region is likely to experience substantial growth in electric vehicle adoption in coming years. To meet the future needs of the region, TMACOG contracted with Burgess & Niple to develop the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Implementation Plan. This plan outlines the strategy for enhancing EV charging infrastructure in the TMACOG region which includes the counties Lucas, Wood, Sandusky, and Ottawa in Ohio and Monroe County in Michigan. It provides a comprehensive overview of current conditions, incorporates insights from public and stakeholder engagement, analyzes market demand, and recommends specific charging sites. Additionally, the plan offers implementation guidance and financial analysis to support the development and operation of EV charging stations. This strategic approach aims to accommodate the anticipated growth in EV adoption, ensure equitable access to charging infrastructure, and contribute to the region's sustainability goals.

TMACOG Makes a Difference

Safe, efficient, transportation that serves everyone is the product of planning. To decide how to invest in our transportation system, TMACOG’s members and partners count the traffic, make the models, learn about the new technology, and listen to local governments. We maintain a long range plan that looks out 20 years or more. We schedule and monitor short term plans that will happen in the next five years or so. We actively seek new information – autonomous vehicles, intelligent transportation systems – to be ready for the future moving people and goods in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Planning for the Future

The Transportation Department at TMACOG works with members and regional partners to ensure that the transportation system in our region moves people and goods safely and efficiently. Our work falls into three categories: long range planning, short range planning, and data collection and modeling.
