If you live in west Michigan or know people who do, make sure they know about the important transit millages coming up on May 3!
Voters in Grand Rapids, East Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville and Walker will be asked to support a 0.35 mill increase to the current five-year 1.12 mill tax levy. If approved, this would increase the total levy to 1.47 mills for seven years. 
This increase is necessary to expand bus service for the region and add high speed bus mass transit. It will fund enhanced service on every route and allow the system to keep up with rising demand and get more of our friends, family, and neighbors to work, school, church and beyond.. Ridership on The Rapid has more than doubled in the last ten years. Learn more at RapidYes.org.
Voters in Benzie County 
will be asked May 3 to renew and restore operating funds for the Benzie Transportation Authority with a 0.5 mill. Learn more at Benzie Bus Yes!
Voters in Grand Haven will be asked to support a five-year 0.95 mill property tax increase for transportation investment. The expected $605,200 generated annually will support expansion of Harbor Transit, as well as funding for the repair and construction of roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
A 0.4 mill renewal is also on the ballot in Holland Township for the Macatawa Area Express Bus.
