Are you tired of potholes on the roads you drive on every day? A new website aims to help you see them fixed.

DriveMI.org is a site put together by The Drive Michigan Campaign. It is supported by the Michigan Transportation Team, a bunch of folks like you, plus businesses and associations, who want Michigan roads improved.

It asks residents to send notification when they find a section of road in urgent need of repair. Website administrators then want to use information collected to raise awareness about the need to finance road improvement projects.

According to the site, a national organization called The Road Information Program, or TRIP recently gave Michigan’s roads a D+ grade. 

The site also has a petition and links that help you inform your state congressmen of your concerns about area roads.

NBC25 also wants to know where the worst potholes are in our area.  If you know of a road in dire need of repair, please leave a comment below.  Our crews may come out to check it out.
