"âMy wild thing is that the Detroit region will finally come together with an actual regional transit plan and the funding to create a great network of transit service.â"
"âI think that Michigan has this progressive streak in it right now. The legislature has Republicans in control, but... I think that the governor has been pretty dynamic.â"
"âItâs really interesting to watch what's been happening in Detroit lately... the narrative... that it was a loser county... The census said, âYou guys got some population gain.ââ"
In a recent conversation, Yonah Freemark made bold predictions for the future of transit in Detroit, expressing optimism about a potential regional transit network. He notes a shift in Michigan's political landscape, suggesting that even with the Republican-held legislature, there is a push for progressive reforms. Furthermore, the narrative around Detroit is shifting, with recent census data showing population gains, countering long-held perceptions of decline. This optimism indicates a potential transformative shift in public transit and regional planning.
