Online Advocacy

  • Walkscore is a website that lets you determine the “walkability” of a location by showing what types of businesses and services are nearby. Walkscore also includes a location’s proximity to public transportation. Visit http://www.walkscore.com/transit-feed.shtml to see how this works and add transit system data.
  • Google Transit Datafeed is similar to Walkscore. Adding data will allow your transit system to be included in Google Apps.

Let’s Get Moving!

Initially founded in the Spring, 2004 by the Michigan Public Transit Association and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Let’s Get Moving! is a broad-based coalition of groups, businesses and individuals who support expansion of public transportation options in Michigan.

Let's Get Moving logoBringing together an effective public transportation coalition in Michigan

WHO are members of the “Let’s Get Moving” coalition?

  • Organizations and individuals committed to improving public transportation.

WHAT are the goals of the group?

  • Establish a pro-transit coalition to maximize effectiveness of advocacy efforts;
  • Develop a Public Transit Legislative Caucus; and
  • Educate the public about transit issues through an organized, comprehensive public relations campaign.

WHY is a coalition necessary?

  • We must join forces to address challenges that include:
    • Insufficient coordination of existing public transportation supporters and goals;
    • Lack of public perception of the benefits of public transportation, generally
    • Specific lack of appreciation for benefits of public transportation in the Michigan Legislature; and
    • Increased ridership, but static or decreased funding.

Join Us Now and… “Let’s Get Moving!”
