ANN ARBOR, MI – The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) has announced a public engagement period to provide the public with the opportunity to learn more about and provide feedback on the proposed site concepts for the new Ypsilanti Transit Center in downtown Ypsilanti.
The Ypsilanti Transit Center proposed project, which is a part of TheRide’s Long-Range Plan, focuses on constructing a new transit center in Ypsilanti to serve the growing greater Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area. The proposed new transit center in Ypsilanti would address needs for the growing community including a larger building, more efficient internal and external layout, additional amenities, security enhancements and a greater number of bus bay spaces.
“TheRide has incorporated previous feedback provided by the public to help shape our proposed plans for the future of the YTC,” Gretchen Johnson, Senior Project Manager at TheRide said. “We’re very excited to share this next phase with our community. We encourage everyone to learn more about the project and to provide their feedback on our updated ideas for the new transit center.”
The public input period runs April 22 – May 22. TheRide encourages the public to provide feedback in a number of ways:
- Visit TheRideYTC.org to review information at a virtual open house and to provide your feedback via an online survey.
- Public Meeting Drop-In Session: Thursday, April 25, 2024, 2:00pm – 6:00pm
