State of Transit 2022 event: Jan 25

Each year, TRU hosts the State of Transit to bring together top transit agency and civic leaders, along with riders and other supporters for what is usually the biggest transit event of the year.

Join us this year on Zoom this Tuesday, January 25!

Topics

Will transit be expanded throughout all of Oakland County this year?
Can we keep SMART in Macomb County despite a near-loss in 2018?
What’s the RTA doing? How’s the D2A2 Express bus going?
How do agencies plan to recover from COVID?
Who will lead TRU through this critical year and beyond?
How can you help expand transit to new areas?

Join TRU’s annual State of Transit to explore all that and more!

TRU Board Election

This also serves as TRU’s Annual Meeting, where we recognize TRU leaders and elect new members to our Board of Directors. Check out our impressive slate of prospective new Board members! Contributing TRU members will have a chance to elect new Board members to shape TRU’s capacity and advocacy – if you haven’t donated recently, please give now!

And you’ll get an update on the newly released draft MI Healthy Climate Plan and have an opportunity to get involved in our SMART millage campaign and more!

In years past, the State of Transit audience of 100+ would all convene in one room. This year, we’re meeting virtually for everyone’s safety and convenience.
