Overview
The Michigan Mobility Funding Platform (MMFP) funds innovative mobility pilot projects of varying sizes that provide mobility solutions in Michigan communities.
Companies are required to partner with at least one of the following public or private entities in Michigan to be eligible for a grant: a community organization, municipality, government agency (e.g., Michigan Department of Transportation), county, supplier, employer, and/or other Michigan stakeholders.
Individual grant amounts vary and a match is required by the participant’s committed partners.
