OUR JOURNEY

The Michigan Public Transit Association has been working tirelessly for over 40 years to improve public transportation services for the citizens of Michigan.

Now, more than ever, the future of state depends on transit. We invite you to join us in supporting and actively participating in the MPTA's mission.
