Transportation Planning

Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) was designated by the Governor as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in 1973, responsible for fulfilling all federally required transportation planning requirements in the Lansing-East Lansing Metropolitan area throughout Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties (Michigan's tri-county region).

TCRPC ensures that existing and future expenditures for transportation planning projects and programs are based on a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive (3-C) planning process. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs in the tri-county area are channeled through the TCRPC. In accordance with federal regulations, TCRPC is required to carry out metropolitan transportation planning in cooperation with the state and operators of publicly owned transit services. The TCRPC approves the metropolitan transportation plan, and both TCRPC and the Governor approve the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
