Detroit needs Good Bus Service NO MATTER WHAT!
Mayor Bing and City Council agreed on a budget maintaining DDOT funding at $57 million, which should maintain current service. But Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr could gut or change DDOT funding at any time.
Don’t Cut Bus Funding – Over the past two years, the City has cut DDOT funding – from $80 million a few years ago to $53 million in 2011 and $43 million this fiscal year. Less funding has resulted in services cuts. TRU supports the $57 million approved for Fiscal Year 2013-14.
Don’t Cut Bus Service – In the past ten years, the City has cut over half of DDOT bus service, leaving too many people waiting too long for the buses they need.

Tell him: No bus funding cuts! No bus service cuts!
