Solving Mobility Gaps

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME) launched the Michigan $15 Million Equitable Mobility Challenge to address mobility gaps and improve access to education, jobs, health care, nutritious food, and socialization opportunities. The overall goal of the challenge is to improve quality of life while increasing equity and accessibility across Michigan communities.

No specific applicant entity restrictions are published in the call notice; applicants across public, private, and non-profit sectors addressing mobility challenges in Michigan are encouraged to participate.

Eligible projects under the Solving Mobility Gaps program focus on piloting innovative tools, technologies, and services that solve mobility gaps impacting equitable access to vital destinations, goods, and services.

Applicants must submit proposals identifying which program they are applying for (Specialized Services Program Expansion or Solving Mobility Gaps). MDOT and OFME reserve the right to move awarded projects into a different program track if appropriate. Inquiries regarding proposals and application materials should be directed to MDOT-EquitableMobility@Michigan.gov.
