For too long, the people of greater Detroit have suffered from insufficient quantity and quality of transit service, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without reliable access to jobs, job training, and other necessities. We demand better. DDOT, SMART, the People Mover, and any new transit service provider must meet a higher standard.
We the people who live, work and play in, visit and care about greater Detroit expect a high quality transportation system that allows people to walk, bike, drive, ride buses and rapid transit to go to the places we want to go throughout the region. We want a well-coordinated, well-funded transportation network in order to restore our communities, support economic development, ensure transportation equity and improve the quality of life of people of all ages and abilities.
We demand that our region’s leaders work together to provide the following:
1. Reliable, on-time service
2. Efficient and well-managed service
3. Affordable fares
4. Safe, clean, well-lit and well-maintained vehicles and facilities
5. Good access to transit information
6. Full accessibility for all users
7. Public involvement in transit decision-making
