Transit 101. Sounds just like a college class doesn't it? But the people trying to bring more transportation options to Metro Detroit (i.e. rail) will use it as an excuse to school those interested in what's going on mass transit wise in southeast Michigan.

The event, set for Wednesday, is designed for those who want to know more about transit issues, such as the proposals for light rail along Woodward Avenue, improved bus service and commuter rail between Detroit and Ann Arbor. It's sponsored by Transportation Riders United, a local non-profit dedicated to improving mass transit in Metro Detroit.

The organizers will also talk about what people can do to get involved in these transit issues and how they can help make turn these proposals into reality.

The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in TRU's offices on the 16th floor of the Guardian Building, 500 Griswold, in downtown Detroit. For information, contact Megan Owens at trumember@detroittransit.org or (313) 963-8872.
