Perhaps you already know or perhaps this is your first time seeing this. This is a map of the current transit coverage in SE Michigan. As you can see, we need more than an autonomous lane connecting Ann Arbor to Detroit. (Map by @RTAmichigan)
We need improved passenger rail service that connects the whole region and is more frequent than Amtrak. (Image by @RTAmichigan)
We need direct bus routes to the airport from major cities like Ann Arbor, Novi, Troy, Clinton Township and Detroit. *We should include downriver too. (Image by @RTAmichigan)
We need more rapid bus routes. Data shows that when buses run more frequently, more people ride them. The FAST Woodward, Gratiot & Michigan buses are a great start. More funding would fund more of these routes. (Image by @RTAmichigan).
For more information about the Regional Transit Authority's 2045 Regional Master Transit Plan Development, check out this presentation. I wonder how it will compare to MDOT's 2045 vision for the region? rtamichigan.org/wp-content/upl…
