New Bills Protect Michigan's Construction Workers & Fund Improved Roads |
|
Gov. Whitmer has put forth several bills that affect Michigan's residents as well as the state's construction industry. House Bill 5286 amends the Michigan Vehicle code to empower Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), a county road commission, or a local road authority to implement traffic control measures and a digital message board displaying the speed limit required when workers are present to improve safety of construction workers.
Senate Bills 465 and 466 require MDOT, under certain conditions, to award money from the State Trunkline Fund to local road agencies, allowing local road agencies to construct projects with less expense while meeting federal requirements.
In addition, the new "Building Michigan Together Plan" paves the way for nearly $5 billion in bipartisan investments dedicated to improving transportation and water infrastructure, supporting jobs, and investing in every region of the state, including work on Michigan’s roads, bridges, regional airports, and transit.
