Michigan’s infrastructure is broken. We need to fix it.
The FY 2026 Michigan state budget includes long-term funding that is an important step toward improving Michigan’s roads and bridges for decades to come.
Michigan’s unmet infrastructure needs are massive
Michigan received a “D+” on the 2021 review of Michigan’s infrastructure and in the 2018 Report Card for Michigan’s Infrastructure. While Michigan leaders are aware of what’s broken, much work is left to be done to fully understand and prioritize a long-term solution for everything that must be fixed.
Safe, reliable infrastructure protects Michigan’s economy, water and public health
Infrastructure touches all parts of how we live, work and play in Michigan. It powers our economy. It delivers clean, safe drinking water to our homes and communities. It protects our neighborhoods from floods, and our lakes, rivers and beaches from raw sewage, E. coli and other toxins.
How do we fix it?
We’ve put off long-term solutions for decades and relied solely on short-term solutions. Michigan business, elected and policy leaders are now examining how to fix it, but Michigan can’t afford to wait much longer.
