Midland County Road Commission

What Midland County Road Commission does

Midland County Road Commission is a Michigan quasi-governmental agency, established in 1920 and operating under state law as the statutory authority for road and bridge infrastructure within Midland County, Michigan. The Commission is governed by a three-member elected Board (Chairman Michael Atton, Vice Chairman James Hyatt, Member Bill Cozat) and led operationally by Managing Director/Engineer Jonathan Myers, P.E., alongside a Superintendent, Finance Director, Director of Engineering, GIS Coordinator, and supporting technical and administrative staff totaling 12 employees. Its core service lines include road and bridge construction, rehabilitation and reconstruction, snow removal, durapatching treatment, drainage work, and the issuance of permits covering driveway approaches, utility installations, and commercial vehicle weight restrictions. The entity also operates a bid and proposal procurement portal for contractor engagement.

The Commission's technology stack centers on geographic information systems for project management and public transparency — notably an ArcGIS Experience Builder-based Interactive Construction Map displaying the 2026 project portfolio — and a SeeClickFix-powered mobile application (the MidlandRoads App, available on iOS and Android) that enables citizens to submit non-emergency service requests, view road closures and restrictions, and receive push or email notifications. Distribution occurs through the official midlandroads.com portal, the Sanford office (2334 North Meridian Road, Mon–Thu 6:30am–4:30pm), Facebook, Twitter/X, and mobile channels. The Commission does not sell products or services commercially; it is funded entirely through county road millage taxes, Michigan Department of Transportation project allocations, and state transportation fund disbursements. Its operating geography is strictly limited to Midland County, with no disclosed geographic expansion plans and a stable, multi-decade operational footprint.
