• MTA SERVICE NOTIFICATION ON THE MILLER/LINDEN ROUTE
  Temporary Reroute of buses onto Durand Street by Mass Transportation Authority for the period of time between March 29, 2010 and August 20, 2010.
  
  The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin construction of the access road between I-69 and Kettering University beginning March 29, 2010. Due to the scope of the road reconfiguration, MDOT finds it necessary to totally close down Miller Road between Hammerberg Road and Court Street.
  
  The Mass Transportation Authority understands the impact that this temporary road closure will have on the many passengers that utilize bus service along the Miller Road corridor. Therefore, in order to provide the best possible bus accessibility for our passengers, it will be necessary to temporarily reroute our vehicles on Durand Street between Corunna and Miller Roads.
  
  The City of Flint will post no parking signs on the West side along Durand Street during the above period to assist in maximizing safety. In addition, we will monitor our buses in this area on a daily basis to make sure all drivers follow our slow speed requirements.
  
  On behalf of the Mass Transportation Authority, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this temporary rerouting. We hope that you will continue to support the Mass Transportation Authority’s family of services.
  
  If you have any questions, regarding this information, please contact the MTA Customer Service Department at (810) 767-0100.

• SERVICE BULLETIN FOR PASSENGERS REGARDING SERVICE AND NON-SERVICE ANIMALS ON VEHICLES
  
  Drivers have been instructed to accommodate what is reasonable. The customer must evaluate what is truly reasonable under those circumstances, as well. Given that dogs are the most common form of service animals, they usually sit at the person’s feet, under the seat, directly beside the mobility aide, beside the wheelchair or the scooter, or between the knees of the individual. If it is a small animal it might even sit in the lap of the individual or be in some type of carrier.
  
  Any animal or reptile other than service animals brought on board an MTA vehicle must be in an appropriate service carrier. The carrier must fit either on the passenger’s lap or between the passenger’s feet. Passengers will not be allowed to board with animals or reptiles that are not in an appropriate service carrier. The animal or reptile is not allowed out of the service carrier while on board the MTA vehicle.
