“So, we produce clinics across the state where we invite residents to come and speak with experts from the Michigan Department of State as well as volunteer attorneys and other community partners to understand what they need to do to get back on the roads safely and legally.”
Abigayl Venman is director of the Road to Restoration program. She says since the clinic was introduced four years ago, over 9,000 Michigan residents have received guidance on reinstating their driving privileges.
“And in some cases, some residents may even obtain their driver’s license, or their temporary instruction permits at the clinic.”
Participation in the clinic does not guarantee or influence license restoration, and infractions and violations will not be expunged from driving records.
“Residents will still need to pay any fines and fees if they have outstanding tickets or actions with courts, they’ll still need to address those.”
Grand Valley State University’s L.V. Eberhard Center is hosting the clinic. Walk-ins are welcome from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as space permits. More information can be found online at Michigan.gov/R2R
