Michigan drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians have an opportunity to help shape the future of transportation safety across the state.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is collecting public input through an online survey as part of its work to update two key safety initiatives: the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and the Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment (VRUSA). These plans guide how the state identifies safety challenges and invests in strategies to reduce serious crashes and fatalities on Michigan roadways.
Why This Matters
The SHSP and VRUSA focus on improving safety for all road users — including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and others who are most at risk. Feedback from residents and local stakeholders helps MDOT understand real-world concerns and prioritize solutions that move Michigan closer to the goal of zero roadway deaths.
Who Can Participate?
MDOT encourages input from:
- Michigan residents
- Community organizations and stakeholders
- Local businesses
Survey Timeline
The online survey is open now and will remain available through March 15, 2026.
