"For many Bronson patients and visitors, riding the bus is the only transportation resource they can rely on to get to doctors’ appointments or to the hospital for care or to visit a friend or loved one. As the area’s largest employer, our employees count on Metro Transit, too. A YES vote on March 10th is critical to support access to care for all in our community."

“I absolutely support our upcoming Public Transportation Millage and the valued service of our Metro Transit system.

Metro Transit is a lifeline for many people in the city and surrounding Kalamazoo area. Please vote YES on March 10th .”

“I am a very strong supporter of the Transit Millage and will be voting yes!

I was a little scared about taking the bus at first, but it has been lifesaving transportation for me and my family. It has been a method to get to work, groceries, doctor appointments and volunteering for me and my husband. We were both very pleased with Metro’s service and all the drivers were nice and respectful to all riders. We recently purchased a car but plan to still ride the bus.”

As a library employee I see first hand how much some library patrons rely on Metro buses to meet their everyday needs, whether they are looking for books and information, applying for jobs on our public computers, or attending library programs for all ages, at all times of day. Your YES vote on the millage proposal will ensure that this well-used public service continues meeting our community's needs.

“Passage of this millage will provide vital support for residents who depend on reliable bus transportation to meet their daily needs. Please vote to approve this critical service for the benefit of our community.”

“I support the millage request for Metro Transit on next month's ballot. A robust and reliable bus system is essential not just for people who rely on it for regular transportation (people without cars or driver's licenses, and those with disabilities) but also for community members who seek to reduce their carbon footprint. All great cities have great public transportation systems. Please join me in supporting this modest tax to ensure that Metro Transit can continue to serve our community's needs.”

"Metro Transit makes a huge difference for a few of our regular church members who, for various reasons, cannot drive. It allows them to attend and be part of regular church activities and interact with friends both on Sundays and weekdays. It helps greatly with their independence. It is imperative that we support the Metro Transit millage.”

“KPS students rely on Metro buses to meet their everyday after school needs as they work to attain future goals.

"An effective public transit system is absolutely critical to the economic health of Kalamazoo county. Employers and employees depend upon its viability. Southwest Michigan First urges voters to support the March 10 millage proposal."

“Metro Transit is an essential function for the success of Goodwill Industries of Southwestern Michigan. With 325 team members, and over 200 of them working in Kalamazoo County, the Metro Transit bus system is essential for their work attendance and every day living in our community. Without Metro Transit, I don’t know how much of our work force would get to work. Transportation is the #1 barrier to employment and Metro Transit is the low cost solution to this issue. We wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming millage to continue doing what we’re doing in Kalamazoo County with our bus system.”

"As the need for public transportation continues to grow, I appreciate Metro expanding in Portage and beyond! I will be voting yes on March 10.”

Public transit not only contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment, but a strong public transit system positively impacts our local economy by connecting people to job opportunities otherwise unreachable and gives people with limited abilities the freedom of movement."

I support the milage for our country transportation system because I believe many of our constituents rely on the services to lead productive lives. We must give all residents of Kalamazoo County the ability to access schools, places of employment, and economic centers. Our county is heading in the correct direction in regard to transportation and I would like to see these programs continue and expand.

"If as a community we believe in preserving our environment then we have to continue cultivating the culture of Public Transportation. Vote yes to support a safe and reliable fixed route bus system, along with the county-wide Metro Connect system. #VoteYesToSupportMetroBusSystem"

"I support public transit because it benefits all of us. Public transportation reduces pollution and aides the economic vitality of a community. Getting students to schools, workers to jobs, and patients to doctors is important work that should be supported by all of us."

Public transportation is vital for a community that works for everyone. Here in Kalamazoo, people take the bus to get to work, attend class and go to important medical appointments. I ask you to join me in voting YES on the upcoming transit millage to support public transportation in Kalamazoo.
