Michigan Transit Legislative Day at the Capitol

Michigan Transit Legislative Day at the Capitol

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 (8:15 AM - 2:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

The Transit Legislative Day at the Capitol brings together leaders from local public transportation agencies as well as other partners to advocate for state policies and funding that support increased transit services and access. The program features refresher training on legislative advocacy, a legislative breakfast, updates from key policymakers, and time for individual or group meetings with legislators. This program is open to any Michigan transit staff, regardless of association membership.

This year, we are also hosting a transit vehicle display outside the Capitol, and we invite agencies to showcase their equipment and staff.


Program Registration: $125 for individuals, $100 early discounted rate (before February 21)
