One important silver lining to the dark cloud of high gas prices is that a lot of people are thinking about public transit. Record numbers of people are riding, and many more are complaining about gas prices but don’t know that they have options.
To help make sure metro Detroiters know about the transit options available to them, TRU is partnering with transit agencies to host a big Dump the Pump event on Thursday June 19 between 11am and 2pm in Cadillac Square (next to Campus Martius in downtown Detroit). We’re excited to partner with MDOT, DDOT, SMART, the People Mover, SEMCOG and others on this effort.
Learn about alternatives to high gas prices, stop by TRU’s table, tell the press why you care about transit, and potentially win bus passes, restaurant gift certificates and more. Please join us and help spread the word!
