Communities across metro Detroit have a lot of questions about the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan (RTA), which was created by the state legislature in December 2012: How will it be funded? What power will the authority have over existing transit agencies like SMART and DDOT? Will the RTA bring true mass transit in the form of rail or bus rapid transit to the region?
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, community groups will have the opportunity to schedule meetings with the RTA's CEO Michael Ford where they will be able to ask those and other questions regarding the future of regional transit in Southeast Michigan. The Harriet Tubman Center at St. John's Episcopal Church in Royal Oak will be hosting two one-hour scheduling sessions (noon to 1 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m.). Community groups will have the ability to schedule follow-up meetings with Ford in the months of March, April, and May. St. John's is located at 26998 Woodward Ave.
Space is limited. Visit the
Harriet Tubman Center's website to RSVP for the event.
