HONOR THEIR SACRIFICE
Honor the U.S. Military men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country by coming out to the Memorial Day parade on Monday at 2 p.m. Sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1138 of Monroe, the parade starts at the corner of Jones Avenue and South Monroe Street and continues up Monroe, before concluding at the River Raisin bridge with a wreath ceremony.

WORLD TURTLE DAY
Turtles may be slow moving, but they’ve survived for 200 million years! Now they’re in trouble because of climate change and loss of habitat. Today, on World Turtle Day, it’s a great day to learn about turtles in our area and how you can help them live safely and thrive. Michigan has 10 different types of turtles!

Holiday Service Notice!

Lake Erie Transit will be closed on Memorial Day in observance of the holiday. There will be no transit services operating on this day.

Regular service will resume on Tuesday.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we honor and remember those who gave everything serving our country.

OUR BUSES DO MORE
Sure, LET buses get people where they need to go. But they do a whole lot more! They feed hungry families at the holidays with canned goods from generous riders. They bring local kids and cops together every December to make holiday dreams come true. They bring warmth to families when disaster strikes, and they bring cool air to people when summer’s heat becomes dangerous. Why? Because we love our communities.

SMELLS LIKE SPRING!
As the weather warms and we get reacquainted with sunlight, keep in mind that LET buses can help you spend time outdoors. Hang your bike on the rack – every bus has one. Find the route to your favorite bike path and we’ll get you there. Or just take a short walk along your bus route. When you’re ready to board, wave down your bus driver anywhere along the route. (Have your fare ready.)

ADULT DUNGEONS & DRAGONS
If you’re an adult itching to fight dragons and mix it up with wizards, this is for you.
