Overwhelming support to maintain transit in suburban Grand Rapids!!
Great work by our friends at Disability Advocates for Kent County and others in making the case!
Grand Rapids Press reports:
"Voters here resoundingly defeated a ballot proposal that would have seen the city withdraw from the Interurban Transit Partnership, which operates The Rapid bus system in metro Grand Rapids.
Official results show 8,269 voters, or 73 percent, cast ballots against the proposal, with 3,028 voters supporting withdrawal."
