We want to hear from you.

The PLA currently maintains more than 60,000 new LED street lights that illuminate neighborhoods across Detroit. We are committed to repair or replace any damaged pole or light within five days of it being reported. Do you know of a new LED street light in need of maintenance? Use this form to inform PLA staff of a street light outage, comment or your feedback. We value your questions and comments.

Discover our Mission

The Public Lighting Authority (PLA) is a state-created authority whose mission is to improve, modernize and maintain all street lights in the City of Detroit with brighter, more reliable, more energy efficient lights. The new lights in neighborhoods are 150-watt equivalent LED lights, twice as bright as the 75-watt equivalent High Pressure Sodium Lights that were the standard under the old system. The LED lights are also much more energy efficient than the High Pressure Sodium lights.
