Why is this public hearing taking place?
The Detroit Department of Transportation is mandated by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Federal Transit Administration to host a public hearing when there are major service changes that impacts minority and low-income bus riders.
The City of Detroit is proposing to replace the current State Fairgrounds Transit Center located on Woodward Ave as part of the proposed Amazon Warehouse development project. The relocation of this transit center will impact the service, schedule, and routing of the Woodward #4, Conant #12, Eight Mile #17, Hamilton #23, Livernois #30, and #54 Wyoming buses.
Why Bus Riders Should Attend:
• This will affect at least 30,000 bus riders weekly who use the current State Fairgrounds Transit Center.
• These changes potentially can impact those of you who use these routes to travel to work, school, medical care and other services.
Bus riders need answers to questions like:
- Will the new transit center accommodate disabled (ADA) bus riders?
- Will it serve the needs of bus riders who work in late/overnight hours
- What will the new center look like inside?
- Will riders have access and will the building be designed to meet COVID -19 social distance rules?
