The primary functions of the Michigan Department of
Transportation are the construction, improvement, and maintenance of the state
highway system--the 9,700 miles of interstate, U.S. and M-numbered highways.
Additional responsibilities include the development and implementation of
comprehensive transportation plans for the state, including aeronautics and
train and bus transit; the provision of professional and technical assistance;
and the administration of state and federal funds allocated for these programs.
The state can
reap immediate savings by implementing the following changes, which involve
eliminating or reducing unproductive subsidies, and reforming the organizational
structure of securing highway infrastructure construction and repair.
