Are you looking for an easy and fun way to stand up for transportation?

Stand Up 4 Transportation Day takes place tomorrow, April 9. Get up and get out to show your support for transportation infrastructure!

Join us as we celebrate public transportation’s progress in our community and learn more about what the future holds. Participating in our Stand Up 4 Transportation Photo Challenge will allow you to explore the future up and coming Laker Line route. Those who complete the challenge will be entered into a drawing to win prizes are an iPad Mini 3, $50 Meijer gift card, and a $25 Meijer gift card.
