Donate Today to Support Detroit Transit in 2015

Please make a year-end donation to TRU to support our work for reliable, affordable transit for everyone in 2015!

Because you understand that not everyone can drive, and not everyone wants to;

Because you believe every person deserves the chance to get ahead by having a way to get around;

Because you’ve ridden transit in other big cities, enjoyed the vibrant urban neighborhoods around transit stops, and dream of Detroit enjoying the same.

TRU is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donation is tax deductible. Please donate today!

A Significant Win on Transit Funding!

The Michigan legislature passed a major package of bills to fund transportation and more, including $112 million for transit!

However, for the funding to be enacted, Michigan voters must decide in May 2015 to raise Michigan’s sales tax to 7% from its current 6%.

Thank you so much if you were one of the thousands of people who called, emailed, and visited your legislators to urge their support for transit!!
