To thrive, it’s important to immerse oneself in the community. But for a variety of reasons, transportation remains a common barrier for Dwelling Place residents. This makes it very difficult to get to appointments, work, volunteer opportunities and community events. Ride the Bus is a fiscal collection created to break the barrier, helping residents thrive, one bus ticket at a time.
Ride the Bus drives are ideal for businesses, churches, families, book clubs, or other groups looking to enhance the connectivity of our community. This drive can be completed virtually, but can also be paired with a volunteer workshop that explores the history of transit in Grand Rapids.
