Don’t miss the regional transit planning meetings – April 8-10

By the end of this year, SE Michigan will have a new official Comprehensive Regional Transit Service Plan for the tri-county area that will shape our region for decades to come.

Do you think the region needs better transit?  What kinds?  Do we need new rapid transit?  Where?  What does your local community need?  Come shape the region’s transit plan!

The Regional Transit Coordinating Council (RTCC) will be hosting three public Open Houses on April 8-10 to share preliminary progress and to hear from you.  DDOT, SMART and DTC (the People Mover) will also participate, providing information on their projects and programs.  Open Houses will be held from 3pm-7pm on the following dates – stop by during any of these times:

Tuesday, April 8, 3-7pm, in downtown Detroit
         
at the SEMCOG offices in the Buhl Building, 535 Griswold

Wednesday, April 9, 3-7pm, in Pontiac
         
at the Oakland County Commission offices, 1200 North Telegraph Rd

Thursday, April 10, 3-7pm, in Mt. Clemens
         
at the Macomb County Commission offices, One South Main Street, 9th floor

Each of the three open houses will provide the same information and opportunity for input.  These events will be a great opportunity to voice your opinion of the future of transit in greater Detroit.  Don’t miss them!

John Hertel, CEO of the RTCC, says, “We look forward to seeing you at an Open House to help the RTCC develop a regional plan for the optimization of the development and delivery of new and improved public transit that will enhance economic development and maximize public mobility in the tri-county Southeast Michigan region."
