Program
Working with local communities, organizations, and government agencies the Heritage Route program strives to identify roads that access Michigan's unique natural, scenic, historic, recreational, and cultural resources. The program also attempts to preserve the unique and irreplaceable qualities of selected corridors, improve distinct roads in a careful and considerate way, promote a greater awareness of and appreciation for the state's scenic, recreational, historical and cultural resources; thereby, providing economic benefits by stimulating tourism. Additions to the system are made when local organizations apply to MDOT through a two-stage process.
