Transportation
Millennials envision...
A regional transportation network with many travel choices, including biking, walking and transit, that allows residents to easily, reliably and affordably access amenities across the metro area and within their own cities.
Metro Detroit was built on the back of the automobile, and its economic and physical development from the 1950s on was defined by the car as sole transit system. Our extensive system of freeways and roads will get you anywhere you need to go—as long as you own a car. To remain economically competitive and become a vibrant, world-class city once again, Detroit and the surrounding region must create a more comprehensive transit system, expanding bus and train services, creating new mass transit options, and making communities more walkable and bikeable.
How can a region as auto-centric as metro Detroit create the network of transit options desired by highly mobile Millennials? How can we afford to build a comprehensive public transit system? What kind of transportation do we need, and where should it go?
