"The Plan..."
Provides the
most "cost effective" solutions to move people in Detroit, Michigan
A researched and physically proven to work plan combining
the best efforts of both city and suburban bus systems
using rider-ship,
employment and transit need
statistics. The forerunner of the of the SEMCOG
"Framework for action" embracing and integrating
present and past transit plans starting from the 1800's when
Detroit was first designed using a logical grid for roads
with
the downtown as the major hub for transportation. A plan
which meets and exceeds federal transit grant
requirements. SEMCOG public studies show the need for frequent on-demand downtown Detroit bus
service. The state fuel tax and increased fare-box
revenue is the best solution. Freeway traffic congestion
can be reduced by 10 - 15% or more thus boosting
Michigan's international economy by moving trucks
faster. A plan that made it off the shelf and can
be completed because of the "human spirit" that
encourages competition, harmony, wisdom, compassion
for others.
Please support this plan and/or leave suggestions to help improve
bus service and mass transit.

All handicapped facilities to be supported from
the state fuel tax, both capital and operating.
