Local Road Research Program

The goal of the CRA-led Local Road Research Program (LRRP) is to fund academically disciplined road-related research that results in new specifications, best practices and other actionable outcomes that enhance local road agencies’ ability to sustain a high-quality road and bridge network for the people of Michigan.
Funding for the pilot Program comes from a Michigan legislative grant issued FY2025.
