Student-led forum talks solutions for MATA transit issues
Johnnie Mosley (center) founding chairman of Citizens for Better Service, speaks during the Stop Poverty with Policy community forum at Cornelia Crenshaw Library. “One of the things we ask today is for MATA to have an easy access number for people to call and check on their buses,” Mosley said. “Our riders are struggling and we’re trying to get MATA to communicate better with bus riders and trying to make it easier.” (Brad Vest/Special to The Daily Memphian)
Members of the reform group Stop Poverty with Policy have been riding MATA bus routes in recent months to understand how transit issues affect passengers’ everyday lives.
