The Haitian Transportation Project
This was indeed the name of the "project" before they changed it to the Micro-Transit Project in Fall 2024 (quickly, when the Syndicate, in every media appearance, needed to refer to the Springfield citizens as dangerous racists).

In September 2023, the "looking into" SCAT improvements were referred to as the Haitian Public Transportation Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZeYJPMkIPw&t=200s
The City Commission has postponed the separated Haitian Transportation Project and On-Demand Transit Project (read May 2nd post for history) pending further review.
My opinion: The Commission's new 2025 motto is Forward Together, but they just keep supporting the 1960s, segregation, and trafficking. Their inclusion posturing has been and continues to be the hoax, not the cats and ducks and violence and no money for anything non-Haitian reality.
PUBLIC MEETING POSTPONED
The public meeting scheduled for Monday, May 5 to introduce Springfield’s new public transportation system has been postponed.
While we’re excited to launch the City’s new on-demand transit service, we’re still finalizing key contract details and want to ensure we're fully prepared to engage with the community and share the most accurate information possible.
A new meeting date will be announced soon.
We appreciate your patience and look forward to providing a meaningful opportunity for input before the service officially launches.
n the April 22, 2025, City Commission Meeting, the headliner was Via Transportation discussing the implementation of the on-demand micro-transit system coming in June/July 2025.
The Micro Transit project that's been going on for 5 years.
Which is really just a Haitian bussing project now. Human trafficking in this town never ends. A year ago, the project was called "Haitian Public Transportation Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZeYJPMkIPw&t=199s
The change in workforce has required a change in the project's needs over time.
Via Transportation partner and will operate the system A DEI hire: https://ridewithvia.com/about
Map of routes. Implemented by July.
Includes a mini-van to pick up individuals. What could go wrong?
Drivers hired from community as representative of the city.
5-year contract.
$4 fare.
Commissioner Brown asked if there is an intentional search for bi-lingual drivers. They'll look into it.
Commissioner Estrop asked if businesses be able to provide this for all my employees? Free transport to and from work. Absolutely, able to support. We'll be engaging with local businesses. He can hardly wait 'til July.
To summarize, the City Geniuses are eliminating Springfield City Area Transit (SCAT) bus routes and replacing them with a "Micro Transit", a mini-van ride-sharing app that can pick up small groups or individuals for on-demand and specific rides.
Commissioner Estrop mentioned that improvements to the bus system has been in the works for years and he was literally gleeful that it's finally coming to fruition in this way. He foresees it as a big help to employers getting employees to work on time. (He couldn't have been much clearer about the system's intent.)

The Springfield Sun article specifically says, "Services will be multilingual with emphases on English, Spanish and Haitian Creole", but Commissioner Brown asked the question of Via in the April 22nd meeting and they said they'd have to look into it.
My personal thoughts are: What could go wrong? And that Bryan Heck's town mafia role is forever bought and paid for, and why is he still employed? And that the bus system isn't going away - it's just repurposed specifically to bus Haitians separately from citizens.
Welcome to the 1960s, Springfield! That inclusion hoax is really going well.
