Engaging business leaders in transit advocacy!

Business owners and other business leaders play a critical role in decisions made by our region's elected leaders, including on transit. That's why it is so important to get the business community involved in advocating for better transit!

TRU, in collaboration with the Troy Chamber of Commerce and the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber, is inviting business leaders, owners, and key partners to get together to share information, ideas and engage in a discussion regarding public transportation. Our agenda will:

Provide an overview of the current events regarding public transit.
Provide a brief overview of TRU and its mission.
Allow discussion as to why public transit is good for your business and what actions you and your business can participate in to promote it.
Have an open question and comment session.
Cover the next steps regarding how we all can help make regional public transit a reality.

A light breakfast will be provided and there is no cost to you except your time and input.

When:      Friday February 26th, 7:30 – 9:30 a.m.
Where:    Troy Chamber Office, Lower Level Meeting Room
                 4555 Investment Drive – Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union Building
                 (off of Crooks between Wattles and Long Lake)

Please RSVP to confirm your attendance on this online form.
