An important component regarding the success of the Drive MI team is a continuing emphasis on grassroots efforts. We constantly encourage our members and anyone interested in improving the Michigan transportation system to contact both their state legislators and local media outlets.

Mail, telephone calls, faxes and e-mail communications are effective and efficient ways to contact both legislative offices and media outlets. Drive MI believes that the more voices that are demanding attention on this issue, the better chance there is of improving our transportation infrastructure across the state.
