We are a group of religious communities around Grand Rapids who are passionate about social justice and public transportation issues.
The group is a gathering of religious communities around Kent County who want to improve the public transportation system. Our goals include:
*To raise the awareness of religious leaders and congregations of the current limits of our transit system as they relate to the real needs of the community.
*To work within our role as religious leaders and communities for the creation of a world-class public transit system that would be a viable option for all citizens.
With a prophetic voice, the religious communities of metropolitan Grand Rapids call for a comprehensive public transportation system to be built in our community. We believe that a usable and viable transit system is a means to:
• support the dignity and freedom of all individuals,
• create an open, hospitable and welcoming community,
• respect the environment
• open economic opportunity to all and
• move people where they need to be.
