The Detroit Regional Chamber and 220 businesses and nonprofits are forming a coalition to pressure Detroit-area political leaders to put a transit proposal on the November ballot.
The Employers for Transit coalition was announced Wednesday at the Mackinac Policy Conference. The entities involved represent 267,000 workers.
The coalition says metropolitan Detroit lags the nation in public transit and it hurt Detroit's unsuccessful bid for Amazon's second headquarters. The employers say "voters deserve an opportunity to determine the future of the region."
