The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) and partners hosted a Road to Restoration clinic in Lansing on March 13, where volunteer attorneys, community partners, and MDOS experts helped more than 115 local attendees understand the steps needed to restore their driver’s license.
Participants received individualized advice on resolving issues such as unpaid tickets, reinstatement fees, and other barriers they are facing in restoring their license.
“We’ve been hosting Road to Restoration clinics since 2022, and a lot of work has been done to get folks back on the road. But the need continues.” said Abigayl Venman, MDOS Road to Restoration director. “We work with residents who just need some help and need to know what they can do. The process to restore a driver’s license can be layered with many steps. We bring in as many resources as possible to help people take that pathway by providing that one-on-one support, that one-on-one information to answer questions and help folks understand the paperwork or the steps that they need to take to get back on the road.”
The clinic was held at Union Missionary Baptist Church in Lansing, and it was the third Road to Restoration clinic hosted at the site. Representatives with the 30th Circuit Court, 54-B District Court, Lansing Office of Financial Empowerment, and the NAACP Lansing Branch were also on site to help attendees.
Volunteer attorneys and MDOS staff met one-on-one with clinic participants to check their current license status, answer questions about their next steps, and provide services like vision testing and the written driver’s exam on site.
