More transit funding means more mobility for Michigan. 🚌
The state’s new investment will help local transit agencies address service gaps and expand transportation options for the people and communities they serve.
And the timing matters. Transit systems continue to face rising costs, including the price of fuel. When operating costs increase, every additional dollar needed to run service puts pressure on already-tight transit budgets.
Michigan’s new transit investment will make a difference. But maintaining reliable service will require a continued commitment to sustainable, long-term transit funding.

A big congratulations to the transit agencies, local leaders, board members, riders, and community advocates who worked tirelessly to educate voters and build support.
Michigan's communities have spoken loudly and clearly: Transit matters.

"A more connected & inclusive transit system would do so much more than move people from one place to another. It would open doors for thousands of individuals who are ready to step through them, but have been standing on the other side for far too long."

🚠 Just announced: Mackinac Island is going car‑free AND sky‑high with a new aerial gondola coming soon. Scenic, sustainable, and just as charming as the ferries & horses. What could be better?

Happy #TransitEmployeeAppreciationDay!
Thank you to all the transit drivers, dispatchers, mechanics, planners, and administrative staff that help keep Michigan moving.
#RosaParks is a national icon — but she is also a Michigan story. She moved to Detroit in 1957, seeking safety and a fresh start after the boycott.
Today, places like the Rosa Parks Transit Center in Detroit and commemorations across the state keep her legacy alive — not as history, but as a living call to action.
Her message is as urgent as ever: dignity, opportunity, and mobility belong to everyone.
