TRU is excited to announce The Senior Mobility Outreach Project, which will:
- Gather data about unmet senior mobility needs;
- Inform and engage seniors and community leaders on the benefits of enhancing safe senior mobility; and
- Promote current and future transit options that can improve quality of life.
This project will engage seniors (65 years and older) in four communities – Hamtramck, Inkster, St. Clair Shores, and Waterford — during the 18-month project. For this new project, TRU is partnering with:
- the Area Agency on Aging 1-B,
- Data Driven Detroit,
- SMART,
- Hannan Foundation,
- The Senior Alliance,
- Detroit Area Agency on Aging
- And other members of the Regional Elder Mobility Alliance – a coalition of agencies representing aging/disability and transit professionals dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in southeast Michigan through the maximization of mobility options and the delivery of multi-modal transportation services.
This project is generously funded by the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan and SMART.
There are several ways you can help – volunteer for community events or serve on one of the 3 work groups. We’ll be conducting surveys in St. Clair Shores on Sept. 14 & 15 from 9:00 am – 12 noon. Contact Ruth at 313-963-8872 or [email protected] to sign up or for more information. You can also join the REMA Google Group to keep informed about the Project activities:
