"Who wants to be driven, when they’re 49 years old, by their mother to late night activities with friends or picked up from work" - Kim Sneider, Livonia Resident. Liv&Go doesn't let her get out after 6pm, or outside of Livonia.

Excellent coverage from @BridgeDet313 . Read below!

This is a super important point that I don't think most people know - if the millage doesn't pass, SMART won't be able to operate in Wayne County

We're calling on @MIHouseDems @MI_Republicans to prevent transit cuts in FY27 with over 30 allies across Michigan.

Tell your legislators - we don't need transit cuts amidst such high gas prices.

[Michigan Public Transit Association @MPTAonline]

🚍30+ orgs are calling on #MIleg to prevent transit service cuts in FY27.
With gas prices high, buses are more essential than ever — but state budget proposals fall short.
Read the letter & watch the press conference:

@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

[Transportation Riders United (TRU) @DetroitTransit]

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.

[Transportation Riders United (TRU) @DetroitTransit]

@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

[Transportation Riders United (TRU) @DetroitTransit]

@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.

[Transportation Riders United (TRU) @DetroitTransit]

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!
