Employee Spotlight
“I joined this team with a limited idea of what public transit looks like in Southeast Michigan. I now realize that I also had a limited idea of what public service really means. It’s not simply compiling research or writing plans, nor is it conducting surveys or providing transit service. Working in public service means working to the benefit of the community… And I’m excited for the necessary role that I can play in working toward this progress.”
