We’ve already hosted three great Town Halls
We hosted our first Macomb Transit Town Hall at Macomb Community College Center Campus in Clinton Township. A big thank you to our partners for the Macomb events: Henry Ford Health and Macomb Community College! Despite extreme thunderstorms, we had a good crowd and some great presentations.
(Despite a few technical difficulties, you can watch the recording of most of it on Facebook.)
Our second event was an Oakland Transit Town Hall Wednesday, August 10 at 6pm at the Crofoot in Pontiac, featuring Pontiac Councilman Mikal Goodman and was co-hosted by the City of Pontiac and the Oakland County Organizing Roundtable. Despite accidentally conflicting with the Oakland County Commission session, we had a great discussion of transit needs and potential expansion.
Recording available on Facebook.
And we held a virtual Transit Town Hall focused on Mobility for People with Disabilities, in partnership with Disability Network of Eastern Michigan, PEAC, and Disability Rights Michigan. It provided substantial information about existing transit services for people with disabilities and personal mobility stories of people with disabilities.
