Clinton County Road Commission

What Clinton County Road Commission does

The Clinton County Road Commission (CCRC) is a statutory county government agency headquartered at 3536 S. US Highway 27 in Saint Johns, Michigan. It is governed by three county road commissioners appointed by the Clinton County Board of Commissioners and operates day-to-day under a Managing Director. CCRC is responsible for maintaining 1,180 miles of county roads across 16 townships (Bath, Bengal, Bingham, Dallas, DeWitt, Duplain, Eagle, Essex, Greenbush, Lebanon, Olive, Riley, Victor, Watertown, Westphalia, and one additional), 180 miles of interstate, U.S., and state trunk lines, along with associated traffic control devices and roadside assets. The organization provides a portfolio of public-facing services including routine and seasonal road maintenance, snow plowing, driveway/right-of-way/move/commercial drive permitting, an online permit payment portal, an online road-issue reporting form, FOIA request processing, township and subdivision mapping, and a regional stormwater management program meeting State and Federal NPDES MS4 requirements.

The service catalog is delivered through a traditional public-sector technology stack centered on infrastructure and asset management. Key technical components include the Asset Management Plan (Compliance Plan V2023), the 5-year Non-Motorized Plan, the 3-year Road Plan, a stormwater discharge permit renewed on a five-year cycle, digital PDF maps for each township and subdivision, and an annual All-Season Map plus snow plow route maps. Field operations are organized into an East District and West District, each led by a supervisor, supported by an Equipment Supervisor, Project Manager, and Engineering Technician. No proprietary software products, APIs, SDKs, MCPs, or AI/ML components are disclosed.

CCRC is funded through a mix of Michigan Transportation Fund distributions, county appropriations, township cost-share arrangements for joint road work, and transactional permit fees set by Policy No. 21. The organization publishes annual budgets (2026 General Appropriations Act), audited financial statements for 2024 and 2025, and expenditure/revenue dashboards, fulfilling Michigan PA 202 transparency obligations. Operating geographies are limited to Clinton County within the Mid-Michigan region, with coordination extending to neighboring municipalities including East Lansing, Grand Ledge, Lansing, and Ovid via the Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management.
