Study says poor roads cost Detroit area drivers $2544 a year

A new study just released took a look at the cost and challenges of fixing Michigan’s roads. “When the system is not as maintained as it should be, they pay far greater costs,” said Rocky Moretti of Trip, the national transportation research group that did the study. He gathered with the Oakland County Road Commission’s leaders and the Detroit Regional Chamber to share the results. He says in the Detroit area drivers are paying on average a whopping $2,544 because roads are in poor condition.
