Greetings, transit warriors! We had a great monthly meeting this past Saturday. Members talked about issues bus drivers are facing in Chattanooga, improvements we’d like to see in the MATAPlus system, and made plans for outreach during the summer. Join us for our next meeting on July 14th from 12-2 at A Step Ahead Foundation, on the 4th floor of the Crosstown Concourse!
On that note, MBRU will be coming to your neighborhood this year! We want to hear from more riders about what your transit needs are in your communities. And remember, you can always contact us about concerns you have at (901) 205-9737 or MemphisBRU@gmail.com. Stay tuned for more updates on this!
Finally, we wanna remind folks about a great upcoming event from one of our allies. United Campus Workers is hosting their 5th annual Juneteenth Celebration on June 23rd! Come down to the IBEW Union Hall (1870 Madison) from 2-5 PM for food, fellowship, and special guest speaker Dr. Charles McKinney! Bus riders can get there on the #2. To RSVP on Facebook, click here.
