TRU State of Transit 2025: Media Coverage Roundup
On Tuesday, January 28th, 2025, Transportation Riders United (TRU) held its annual State of Transit event at the Wayne State Industry Innovation Center in New Center. State Representative Jason Morgan and State Senator Mallory McMorrow were present along with Wayne County Executive Warren Evans, local transit provider leaders, and TRU’s new board inductees and returning members.
Standard disclosure: I serve on TRU’s Board of Directors and assisted with planning and running portions of this event. TRU educates, advocates, and mobilizes for more and better public transit and other affordable sustainable mobility options throughout the Detroit region. TRU membership approved my re-election to the board at this meeting for my second three-year term.
The full recording of the event along with an official write-up from TRU will be available soon.
