Livingston County Transportation Coalition Invites the Community to the 5th Annual Rosa Parks Transit Equity Day Breakfast & Community Conversation
Howell, MI — The Livingston County Transportation Coalition invites residents, community leaders, organizations, transportation workers, riders of public transportation, businesses, and elected officials to attend the 5th Annual Livingston County Rosa Parks Transit Equity Day Breakfast and Community Conversation on Wednesday, February 4, from 8am to 9:30am at Cleary University, 3750 Cleary Dr, Howell, MI 48843.
This free breakfast event will feature the Liv.Well Community Conversation Series, presented in partnership with Trinity Health Livingston and the Livingston County Health Department, and is designed to bring people together for a respectful, solutions-focused discussion on public transportation needs in Livingston County.
The purpose of the event is twofold:
• to celebrate the progress already made in expanding transportation access across the county, and
• to gather community input that can help guide fiscally responsible, locally driven solutions to meet the growing demand for public transportation.
“As Livingston County continues to grow and change, transportation access affects workforce participation, healthcare access, and quality of life,” said representatives of the Livingston County Transportation Coalition. “We need voices from across the community—residents, service providers, businesses, and local leaders—to help identify practical, responsible ways to move forward.”
The event will include:
- A welcome address from Cleary University, event sponsor
- A Keynote Address
- The State of LETS Transportation presentation
- A special video from LETS Public Transportation
- Recognition of Villages, Cities, and Townships that passed proclamations commemorating Rosa Parks Transit Equity Day
- The Liv.Well Community Conversation, providing an opportunity for open dialogue and community feedback
The Coalition emphasizes that this event is not about mandates or predetermined outcomes. Instead, it is an opportunity to listen, share experiences, and collect meaningful input that can inform future planning efforts while respecting local priorities, accountability, and budget realities.
Registration is required and can be completed at:
