Take some time this week to promote health, safety and the environment by simply riding a bike together.  YaPeoples are doing their part by hosting a Bike to SUMMER School Rally on July 14th, 2012.
Detroit Public Schools alone will serve as many as 30,000 students this summer providing 6 hours of summer school daily for six weeks. Students in grades 9 – 12 will be offered  opportunities to make up core academic courses in which they were not successful.
Detroit’s Transportation Department, the newly, privately-owned management company in charge of Detroit’s bus system, is in crisis according to 2011 report summarized by the Huffington Post:
50% of the buses do not arrive on time
20-30% do not show up at all
Many buses fail to stop because they are already over capacity
The elimination of bus routes are forcing riders to ride twice as long
HOWEVER, in 2009, Detroit Department of Transportation instituted the Bikes on Buses Program equipping all buses with bike racks. To utilize the DDOT Bus Racks you must be 15 years old and no additional fee is required.
