Building a Better Detroit Through Better Public Transit
TRU advocates for a seamless transit network that connects our communities to empower riders, create vibrant neighborhoods, and help Michigan thrive.
Join us at the State of Transit 2026.
This annual event is often the biggest transit night of the year, bringing together transit agency leaders, public officials, bus riders, partner groups, transit workers, news media, TRU members, and many others who want great transit throughout the metro Detroit region.
