For a quarter century, Transportation Riders United (or TRU) has been advocating for better and more transit and transportation options for Detroiters, Metro Detroiters, and Michiganders. Their 25th anniversary gala is coming up this week, so I thought I'd check in with TRU Executive Director Megan Owens on eveyrthing from the history of the nonprofit organization, to the accomplishments, to the challenges ahead... and the unique opportunities right here in front of us to make sure Metro Detroit is a world-class region.
