Don’t miss the exciting new PBS documentary on Detroit transit – part of their Blueprint America series.
The full documentary debuts tonight at 10pm on Detroit Public Television
(channel 56), examining how Detroit, a symbol of America’s diminishing status in the world, may come to represent the future of transportation and progress in America. TRU staff, volunteers, and partners were pleased to assist in the creation of this film. Check out the preview and full description at www.PBS.org/wnet/BlueprintAmerica/.
You can hear TRU Director Megan Owens and several local experts discuss the documentary on WDET’s Craig Fahle show, during the last 15 minutes of today’s show (Monday, 2/8, at 8:45pm) (also available online).
Several TRU leaders and volunteers will be at the Grand Truck Pub (on Woodward just south of Campus Martius) to watch it tonight. You’re welcome to join us!
Over the next month, TRU will be partnering with the Michigan Municipal League and other like-minded groups to host additional local screenings in conjunction with discussions and action opportunities. If you’re interested in working with us to schedule a screening/discussion, please contact us!
