Tomorrow, TRU Policy chair Steve Gutterman will be testifying before the Michigan House about the importance of a Regional Transit Authority to:
- Coordinate all existing transit service (decreasing service gaps and duplication);
- Advance new transit projects including Woodward light rail, Gratiot rapid transit, and commuter rail;
- Champion the Regional Transit Plan and its clear steps to improve transit;
- Fulfill the US Transportation chief’s directive that our region work together to get more federal money; and
- Plan and propose dedicated local funding to enable all this and more!
Several TRU leaders will be up in Lansing with Steve bringing the message directly to legislators.
