Request for Information: Family Friendly Transit

Detroit Disability Power, a community partner of the University of Michigan's STPP, supports the initiative by highlighting the necessity of accessible and reliable transit for the disabled community. They argue that transportation barriers contribute to the marginalization of disabled residents and provide a framework for what constitutes an inclusive transit system.

The commenter suggests that the FTA should track and encourage improvements to transit fare structures to make them more affordable for large families. They specifically propose offering family passes rather than relying solely on individual per-person fares.

The commenter supports the importance of family-friendly public transit and highlights the need to address long wait times. They also advocate for including a public survey on the possibility of free public transportation, while suggesting that a small fee might be necessary to prevent frivolous use.
