The Oakland County Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) is a partnership with local governments, maximizing the impact of the County’s limited resources available to solve immediate road repair needs and spur economic development in cities and villages. The program provided an opportunity for local cities and villages to apply for a matching fund grants based upon their population, road miles and crash data. Overall, Oakland County was able to leverage an investment of less than $1 million into $8 million in road repair and maintenance programs.
