Intergovernmental Agreement

Intergovernmental Agreements

The Traverse Transportation Coordinating Initiative (TTCI) is governed by an Intergovernmental Agreement between fifteen local governments and transportation agencies across Grand Traverse and Leelanau Counties. This agreement formally establishes TTCI as the region’s federally recognized Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), ensuring that our communities have a coordinated voice in transportation planning and funding.

Through this partnership, each participating agency contributes equally and shares in decision-making on transportation priorities. Together, the members guide the development of long-range transportation plans, short-term improvement programs, and regional transit and road projects. The agreement reflects a shared commitment to improving mobility, safety, and connectivity for residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the region.
