Mobility Public-Private Partnership & Programming (MP4) Grant

The Mobility Public-Private Partnership & Programming (MP4) Grant program was established by the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME) in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity (LEO). The program supports partnerships and programming that address emerging mobility systems across all transportation modes, including air, ground, marine, and off-road throughout the state of Michigan. It also advances the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a strong high-tech talent pipeline for electric vehicles and infrastructure.

Eligible applicants and collaborators include Michigan higher education institutions, research organizations, private sector companies, and startups. Priority is given to collaborative initiatives that bring together universities, industry leaders, and public partners to provide hands-on educational, testing, or workforce training opportunities.

Eligible projects include educational and technical workforce training initiatives, equipment development for high-speed e-mobility component testing, drone pilot training curricula for infrastructure asset management, and startup tech lab programs supporting connected, autonomous, electric, and shared vehicles.

This grant program is currently closed. Grant solicitations were administered through the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification and MEDC.
