Dear Residents and Stakeholders,

We are delighted to share with you the presentations from our recent Transit Forum, a critical event aimed at fostering dialogue, collaboration, and progress within our community.

The Transit Forum was a testament to the dedication of our community to enhance transportation infrastructure and mobility options. It brought together city, village, township, and transportation agency staff and elected officials to discuss the current state of transit in Oakland County and explore opportunities for its improvement.

The presentations you are about to access cover a wide range of topics, from the challenges we face to the exciting initiatives on the horizon, with a focus on how municipal governments can improve transit accessibility in their communities. Topics were covered at a high-level with the intention of delving deeper at later forums. They represent a collaborative effort to address the transportation needs of our growing and dynamic county. By making these materials available on our website, we aim to ensure that everyone has access to the valuable insights and ideas shared during the Transit Forum.

Please feel free to explore these presentations and share them with others who may be interested. Your engagement and feedback are essential as we work towards creating a more connected and accessible Oakland County. Together, we can drive positive change and shape the future of transit in our community.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making Oakland County a better place to live, work, and thrive.

Sincerely,

Oakland Transit
