The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) joined partners in Detroit on Wednesday for a Road to Restoration driver’s license clinic hosted by the Latin Americans for Social and Economic Development, Inc.
Expert staff and volunteer attorneys met one-on-one with more than 240 visitors to the clinic, reviewed their driving record, and advised on their next steps to get back behind the wheel.
"Our Road to Restoration clinics give Michiganders the support they need to get safely back in the driver’s seat,” said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. “We are grateful for the partners and volunteers who join us to bring government closer to underserved communities.”
The Road to Restoration program was created after changes to state law in 2021 lifted suspensions for drivers who failed to pay tickets or court fines or failed to appear in court for certain non-moving and other violations. While new laws removed suspensions for more than 150,000 Michiganders, many must still take further action to get their driver’s license restored.
Road to Restoration clinics are a public-private partnership that includes the Department of Attorney General, DTE Energy, Miller Canfield, Detroit Justice Center, the Michigan Association of United Ways, and Michigan 2-1-1.
The clinics do not provide DUI/OWI expungement services and license reinstatement is not guaranteed.
The next Road to Restoration clinic will be held in Battle Creek on Oct. 18 at Second Missionary Baptist Church.
