Charles Dickens may as well have been talking about Detroit transit with that infamous statement, because it sure has been both this year!
- Major federal investments promise to drastically improve Michigan’s passenger rail network,
- Yet Mayor Bing has canceled the Woodward Light Rail project.
- Governor Snyder has been bringing together top leaders to improve regional transit,
- While many bus riders are being left stranded by DDOT problems and SMART cuts.
At the same time, TRU is stronger than ever, thanks to our generous supporters and fabulous partners. Despite scrambling to keep up with massive transit changes happening day-to-day, we have also developed our first Strategic Plan to effectively guide our work over the next three years. We make those long term plans because we know it can and must get better!
