Lansing, MI – Michigan drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are being asked to share their experiences and concerns as the state updates its long-term transportation safety strategy.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the agency is updating the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and the Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment, two key documents that guide how the state works to reduce crashes and fatalities on roads statewide.
The public input process is being conducted on behalf of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Commission and is designed to identify priority safety needs, funding gaps, and improvement opportunities across Michigan’s transportation system.
MDOT officials say the survey is open to all Michigan residents, including daily commuters, rural drivers, transit users, cyclists, and pedestrians. Responses will help influence future safety investments, education efforts, and infrastructure changes aimed at reducing serious injuries and deaths.
The survey is available online and will remain open through March 15. Participants are asked to share feedback on roadway conditions, traffic behaviors, and areas where safety improvements are most urgently needed.
Transportation safety remains a major issue statewide. Michigan has continued efforts to lower traffic fatalities, particularly among vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. State leaders say public feedback is critical to ensuring policies reflect real-world conditions.
Residents can access the survey through MDOT’s official channels and are encouraged to participate early to ensure their voices are counted before the deadline.
