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.
Who We Are
TRU believes everyone should be able to get where they need to go.
Transportation Riders United (TRU) is your voice for accessible, reliable, and affordable public transit in the greater Detroit region. Since 1999, we’ve been fighting to make sure everyone has the freedom to get where they need to go – to work, school, healthcare, and more.
