Commuters

The Michigan Department of Transportation's goal is to keep Michigan's motorists safe, informed, and mobile. That is why the department offers many ways to help ease the stress of commuting by providing information that commuters want and need as they make daily travel decisions. 

So, before you hit the road for work, school, or shopping, check out the services we offer to help you get from here to there.
