Workers rallied at the August 26 Lansing City Council meeting to demand that Transdev, a private contractor assisting CATA with paratransit customers, improve conditions and wages for its workers, according to WILX.

Workers also testified before a CATA board meeting, marched on Transdev's Lansing operations and attended previous meetings to raise their concerns.

The new fall CATA schedule should be unaffected by the rally and will proceed as scheduled.

Campus CATA routes 30 to 39 are still free for MSU students, continuing a policy that began in 2018. Off-campus buses cost 60 cents with a student ID, or students can purchase a semester bus pass.
