Section 3: DASH Bus Changes in Grand Rapids
On May 3, the city of Grand Rapids implemented a "DASH Pilot Program" slashing 70% of its bus stops in order to save money and reduce stop time by 7 mins. This resulted in a reduction of coverage effectively eliminating how many GR residents in the North, South and Western communities got to work, bought groceries, went to the doctors, and much more.

Both Quotations are from
“The DASH is now focused primarily on serving residents and visitors of Grand Rapids,” Mobile GR director
“The previous model was not financially sustainable, and it wasn’t delivering the frequency riders need to rely on transit,” Mobile GR director. “With this pilot, we’re running buses nearly twice as often, with shorter trip times, at a cost the City can sustain long-term.”
