MTA and United Way Granting Wishes to those in Need

(Flint, MI.-December 3, 2018) The Mass Transportation Authority and United Way of Genesee County have partnered to grant the wishes of agencies in need of bus passes this holiday season.

 Six of the agencies in Genesee County received bus passes, courtesy of an Emergency Bus Pass Program. Recognizing the transportation barrier our community faces, the MTA and United Way launched the program for nonprofits in need of quality transportation for clients. MTA, Huntington Bank (via a special grant to the United Way) and the United Way have donated to the program, to start the campaign off. In total, 13,000 passes will be given out during the year.

 Ed Benning, MTA General Manager/CEO, hopes that this will assist people in the community.

“The need for public transportation is quite serious.  The agencies don’t have the money to give the passes out. We are sending out a challenge to the community to keep the pass program going and we are hopeful that agencies, individuals, foundations and organizations will step up to help these people by donating to the pass program. The passes will help people in the community with accessing badly needed services.”

 The Emergency Bus Pass Program is available to 501c3 entities whose clients are in need of transportation for shelter, access to fresh foods, employment and medical appointments. “Nonprofits across our county are working hard to meet the needs of their clients. We are grateful for the partnership with MTA to help ease the burden of accessing high-quality transportation,” said James Gaskin, CEO United Way of Genesee County.  Interested agencies should contact Mary Bishop (mbishop@unitedwaygenesee.org) for more details on the new application process.

 The agencies that had their bus pass wishes granted today were Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties, Genesee County Salvation Army, the Shelter of Flint, Foster Grandparents, Eastside Compassionate Mission, and Faith Foundation Resources. Another recipient was St. Luke’s New Life Center.

 Persons or agencies interested in donating to the Emergency Bus Pass Program can go online to the United Way website at: www.unitedwaygenesee.org/donate
