Dear Supporters:

This week we're asking you to write to MDOT to ask them to partner with AAATA to study a transit alternative for US-23.

How'd we get here last week? After MLive covered our campaign on Wednesday, hundreds more concerned citizens signed this petition. Then, on Friday, the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (AAATA) announced they are willing to partner with MDOT to study a transit alternative for US-23, drawing on concepts in their TheRide 2045 long-range plan (above).

Let’s make it happen!

This week, we’re asking you to write to MDOT to ask them to partner with AAATA to add a transit alternative to the US-23 Improvement Project Study.

Submit your request through the official project feedback form:

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more actions you can take to stop this widening and expand transit services in our community. If you’re interested in helping out, you can sign up on our website and we’ll reach out to connect:
