@GabGet0n We agree with you that walkers and bicyclists are limited. That's why we need to invest in sidewalks and buses. Some people can't bike, and some need to travel far. Others need to just walk in their neighborhood or town. We're fighting for cyclists, pedestrians, and transit rider
A small group of Northville-based anti-tax activists are suing to block a Wayne Countywide vote for public transit.
It's odd to fight transit now - with soaring gas prices and more people in need of affordable mobility - but as always, some people are less affected than others.
@numberfriends It's likely soaring gas prices will last a long time. And beyond gas prices, insurance rates and the cost to buy a car are also higher. We should support affordable transportation options, so we can have them whenever we need them
@GabGet0n Pedestrian infrastructure is important, but it's impossible to walk from Detroit to Canton. The bus can get you from end to end if you don't drive. We need to invest in all transportation options.
Our campaigns team meeting (formerly volunteer meeting) is this Thursday from 6-7:30pm on Zoom. If you want to get involved in the fight for more and better transit, please join us!
