About Us
MASSTrans is a non-profit coalition of public transportation systems from across Michigan.
Formed in 1996 MASSTrans initially focused its efforts on funding and program reform. MASSTrans was concerned about the level, predictability and fairness of state funding, and sought to reform it to make it more efficient and responsive to the needs of Michigan citizens.
Though MASSTrans is still working on those issues, it has sought other ways to provide benefits to its' members. To that end, MASSTrans began to provide training seminars for transit personnel in topics such as accident investigation.
In the future, MASSTrans will continue to advocate for public transportation in Michigan and to provide services such as training to transit systems.
MASSTrans looks forward to other cooperative ventures with other organizations and transit systems and to better communication and networking among public transit providers across the State.
