The purpose of the Michigan Infrastructure Office Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is to provide technical assistance, planning, and matching grants to local units of government, planning organizations, and federally recognized Tribal nations to help draw federal infrastructure money to Michigan’s communities.
TAC provides a suite of resources to support Michigan communities in applying for federal grant funding. TAC is continuing to build out the full range of resources. TAC currently offers three key support services: grant identification, grant writing, and match funding. These three services will be available to eligible recipients by an application to TAC. TAC will continue to expand support offerings for additional entities in the future.

TAC is opening an expedited technical assistance opportunity, outside the normal, ongoing TA window offerings for Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program (RTAPP) grant application assistance. The US Department of Transportation will award a maximum of up to $2.5 million in Pre-Development Assistance to assist rural communities in preparation for a variety of grants for your transportation projects. There is no requirement for cost sharing or providing a local, non-federal match to the grant funds in this program. TAC will be accepting applications from rural communities and tribes from August 20, 2025, to September 12, 2025, 11:59PM, for complimentary grant writing support for RTAPP.
