Fairly significant transit news...
First, CATA has expanded service on Route #12 to LCC's West Campus in Delta Township. The frequency is still pretty bad, but that's true of most CATA routes outside the mainlines. Still, it's an improvement over what was there.
CATA also kind of unexpectedly announced that the thaw between their system and Delta Township is in full effect. Zone #2, which include significantly higher fares ($1.25 for regular ride, $2.50 for Zone #2), has been abolished. That means the few routes that do cross county lines (#3 and #12) are now regular fare in Delta Township. Along with this, CATA is introducing a dial-up redi-ride service which will run from Monday to Saturday.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to eventually get rid of Eaton County's horrible dial-a-ride Eatran and pull Delta fully into CATA, but this is the first step. Everybody basically realizes that Delta Township is far too large a suburb to remain so incredily underserved by CATA, but Eaton County has not been interested in paying their fair share, and Delta Township wasn't going to go in alone up until this announcement. If we can ever win back the county commission, there may be hope that we can finally pull Delta fully into the system and get legit bus service to the township.
As it stands now, you've basically got one legit urban route in Delta which serves the Lansing Mall (the LCC West Campus is the fringe of the township). This leaves a significant part of the urbanized part of the township out to Marketplace without any service, still.
