The number of people riding public transportation in Michigan has increased dramatically in the first quarter of 2008, with double-digit ridership increases being reported by many of the state’s metropolitan communities.
“The increases from month to month have been significant, with Battle Creek, Flint, Saginaw and Kalamazoo registering double digit increases in February, 2008 over a year ago,” stated Michigan Public Transit Association Executive Director Clark Harder.

The Transit Legislative Day on Tuesday, April 22, organized by the Let’s Get Moving Coalition was a resounding success. This was the third such legislative day in Lansing put on by our Coalition and the attendance was tremendous from locations throughout the lower peninsula, east to west. More than 75 attendees met personally with Senators, Representatives and their legislative staff people and made the case for continued strong funding for transit.
