Transit in Metro Detroit is at an inflection point.

We talk with Transportation Riders United executive director Megan Owens about the new Wayne County‑wide transit millage, what an extra eight bucks a month could unlock, and how our region invests less in buses than almost any big metro in America.

The vote is crucial for the future of transit as it would finally opt-in all communites in Wayne County to transit, similar to how most places nationally work. If it fails, we could lose what service we do have. 

They dig into Lansing’s latest budget “switcheroo,” how Oakland County’s all‑in vote reshaped service, and TRU’s upcoming Round‑the‑Mitten tour to prove you really can ride public transit from Detroit to Marquette.
