In Michigan, the County Road Commission is in charge of all public streets and roads in the county that are not in a city or village. The Commission consists of three commissioners, serving six year staggered terms. In Hillsdale County, the road commissioners are elected at large (there are no districts); and also acts as the Hillsdale County Parks Commission. The Road Commission may appoint an engineer/manager and other staff to manage the roads.  

Most funding for roads come from state transportation funds, such as gasoline and diesel taxes, and from township cost sharing.

Currently, the three commissioners are Mr. Bob Godfrey, Mr. Michael Parney, Mr. William Watkins. The engineer/manager is Mr. Stanley Clingerman.
