The statute allows the general public access to all government information and records.

Traffic records are public information in Michigan, thanks to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) enacted in 1977. For instance, all driving records are preserved and maintained by the Michigan Department of State (DOS), allowing authorized parties access to these documents. Different government entities generate and maintain public traffic records in the state. These documents include traffic history, offenses, convictions, moving violations, tickets for civil infractions, sentences, license suspension or revocation records, driving points received, etc.


In Michigan, public traffic records are formal documents containing comprehensive data of a person's driving history.
