Individuals have reported receiving text messages claiming to be from MDOT and demanding toll payments. This is a scam. MDOT does not operate any toll roads; messages should be ignored and deleted immediately. Learn more from MDOT Director Bradley C. Wieferich and Attorney General Dana Nessel.
MDOT's seven region offices each handle transportation-related construction, maintenance and programs within the region's geographic boundaries.
Each MDOT region has several Transportation Service Centers (TSCs) that are designed to respond to the transportation needs of local communities. The TSCs are geographically located throughout the state, so no Michigan resident is more than an hour from one. The TSCs perform a number of functions, including issuing permits, performing road and bridge construction and maintenance, and responding to urgent transportation needs, such as road closures due to storm damage. TSC staff also advise local residents about state and federal funding opportunities to meet local needs; and provide road and travel information for construction, road closures, detours, traffic delays, bad weather conditions, and traffic volume counts.
