The Capital Area Transportation Authority launched a feedback program in late January to improve rider experience. This program is known as The Listening Bus.
During these sessions, CATA employees ride along with everyday bus riders and simply ask them for their feedback. Riders will also be provided with a survey form to help CATA get a better understanding of their perspectives.
Riders who want to participate in one of the Listening Bus sessions can also fill out a form online that will be given directly to CATA employees.

Instead, I spent the next four hours in the dark restaurant, peering out the window.
A Narcan vending machine will soon be installed at the Ingham County jail. The opioid overdose-fighting drug will be available for anyone in need, and the process will be identical to getting a snack from a normal vending machine.
