Monroe County Road Commission

Monroe County Road Commission The first meeting of the Board of County Road Commissioners of the County of Monroe was held on May 8, 1913.

The MCRC vows to provide quality, courteous and dependable professional services through innovative, cost-effective ways to maintain our road system through transparency, trust and collaboration between citizens, businesses and government. Public Act 283 of the Public Acts of 1909, particularly Chapter IV titled, "County Road Law" was the basic legislation by which county road commissions were est

ablished. Following an election by the people, a County Road system was authorized and the County Board of Road Commissioners was organized in 1913 in accordance with provision of Act Number 283 of Public Acts of 1909, as amended. Public Act 130 of the Public Acts of 1931 is the Act by which the County Road Commissioners took jurisdiction of all public roads within the county, then existing, which had not theretofore taken into the county road system. By the terms of this act, on April 1, 1936, all roads within the county laying outside the Municipal Corporate Limits of cities and villages became county roads. Public Act 51 of the Public Acts of 1951 may generally be described as the funding Act of County Road Commissions. Within this Act is found the method for defining, "primary roads and local roads". Likewise, the formula for distribution of gas and weight taxes, along with licensing fees is set forth. The Road Commission receives the bulk of the monies required to perform its duties regarding the maintenance of county roads from the foregoing source. It should be noted that the county has no jurisdiction over state trunk line highways.
