TEDF FUNDING ALLOCATION; MODIFY S.B. 1011:
SUMMARY OF BILL
REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE
Senate Bill 1011 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Veronica Klinefelt
Committee: Transportation and Infrastructure
CONTENT
The bill would amend the transportation economic development fund (TEDF) Law to modify
urban county population ranges used in distributing TEDF funding for transportation projects
meant to reduce congestion on county and city streets.
MCL 247.911
BRIEF RATIONALE
The TEDF’s Category C funding is used solely to reduce congestion in urban counties and is
distributed to counties according to population size. Counties within the same population
bracket split that bracket’s funding. For example, Kent County and Genesee County currently
share the same population bracket and receive half of the allocated 24%; however, in 2020
the Census Bureau reported that Kent County grew from 602,622 individuals in 2010 to
657,974 in 2020. Now that the Census has been certified, under current law Kent County will
move from its current bracket to the next bracket, sharing funds with Macomb County. This
will result in a reduction in funding for Kent County and Macomb County, as their funding will
be reduced from 12% to 10% and 20% to 10%, respectively. Accordingly, it has been
suggested that the population parameters for Category C funding be amended to ensure that
no county loses or gains funds.
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION
(Please note: This section does not provide a comprehensive account of all previous legislative efforts on the relevant subject matter.)
The bill is a companion bill to House Bill 5922, which passed the House and has been reported
by the Senate Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Legislative Analyst: Abby Schneider
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have no fiscal impact on the State and would have a net zero fiscal impact on
local units of government. The bill would adjust the population metrics for the county
congestion road funding, which means some local units could receive more funding while
others received less funding; however, total funding would not change.
