Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO Council: Tom Turner Collection Papers, 1920-1984 (Predominantly, 1968-1984) 124 linear feet 1 oversize folder Accession #53 DALNET # OCLC # Tom Turner served as president of the Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO Council from 1969, when the Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb County AFL-CIO Councils merged, until 1986. Prior to his election as president, Turner worked in the United Steelworkers of America Local 1299 as a steward in the Checking Department. He worked his way through the administrative ranks with the USWA and was appointed to the staff of District 29 in 1964. The following year Turner went to work for the Wayne County AFL-CIO as the administrative assistant to President Al Barbour. In 1967 he won election to the organization's vice presidency. The Wayne County AFL-CIO Council's Executive Board elected him president in 1968. The Executive Board of the Metro Detroit Council approved his election overwhelmingly at the merger convention in 1969. Turner was active in the civil rights movement, serving as president of the Detroit NAACP from 1968 until 1970. He sat on the national board of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and on several committees of New Detroit, Inc. He also served on the board of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and on the National Council for Health Planning and Development. Other organizations in which he has been involved include the United Foundation's Labor Participation Committee, the Metro Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Trade Union Leadership Council, the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, and the Oakland-Livingston Human Services Agency. He has been a staunch advocate of youth programs like the Boy Scouts and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Detroit.

  • Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”

    Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”

    “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).

  • Detroit People Mover Lessons Learned from Transparent Data

    Detroit People Mover Lessons Learned from Transparent Data

    Memorandum To: Roy Taylor, MDOT From: Ericka Alexander/Oliver Lindsay, DTC Date: June 19, 2019 RE: Lessons Learned from the Transparent Data Sets (Website Optimization) Project Background In 2014, the Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) received a $150,000 grant administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The purpose of the grant was to create a more user-friendly website and mobile phone application for the Detroit People Mover (DPM). Following the issue of the Request for Proposal, subsequent review and selection, the project began in 2017 and was completed December 1, 2018. This memorandum will provide an overview of the lessons learned during the grant period. Website Optimization Overview The original https://www.thepeoplemover.com website launched in December 2005 with one additional upgrade 10 years later. The grant supported the adaptive design of the website and mobile app, and development of backend code to launch on various platforms, devices and browsers. The grant enables the People Mover to have a digital platform on par with other, local public transportation systems and yet distinguish and integrate the People Mover’s unique operation. The hybrid design links the content management system (CMS) to both the website and app in downtown Detroit. Use of the Website and App • Announcements and general information regarding People Mover service and operations • Wayfinding and trip planning to increase access to close mobility options, downtown accessibility and long-term density 1 • Building last-mile / first-mile connectivity via links and information to other transit agencies • Ordering transit passes online by desktop or mobile phone • Submission of standardized forms and applications, such as employment, contractor permits and advertising.
