DETROIT - The group aiming to coordinate Southeast Michigan's public transportation systems has public meetings planned for Detroit, Ann Arbor, Pontiac and Mt. Clemens through the beginning of April.

According to a release, information on "various modes of transit and how they intersect" will be displayed at the Regional Transit Authority meetings.

"Our current transit system does not offer rapid reliable transit that connects our region," said Michael Ford, CEO of the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan, in a release. "These proposed transit alternatives will positively impact everyone from employees in the region, to those traveling to the various education and entertainment centers."

The first meeting, to be held in Detroit from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. March 29 at the Aloft Detroit hotel in the David Whitney Building, will have an interactive Bus Rapid Transit station set up which the public will be able to explore.

Multiple conceptual renderings of each leg of the three-prong regional plan can be see in the video above.

The four announced meetings will cover the region. According to a Monday release, separate meetings will be held for the Michigan Avenue, Woodward and Gratiot corridors.

The mock transit station will feature "furniture, a bike rack, planters and other shelter elements...a digital real-time next bus display...(a) ticket vending machine...and an interactive touch screen transit information kiosk..."

The RTA was established in 2013 to coordinate the region's various, largely unconnected local transportation systems, and to propose new transit infrastructure that take the form of bus rapid transit lines with dedicated lanes along major corridors. In 2014, the group decided to delay proposing a millage to support the effort until November 2016.

Ford has said the board hopes to approve a ballot proposal by July.

The showcases for the RTA are as scheduled:

March 29, Detroit, 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. -- Aloft Detroit at The David Whitney, 1 Park Avenue

March 30, Mt. Clemens, 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. -- The Collaborative, 21 N. Main Street

March 31, Ann Arbor, 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. -- Shinola Ann Arbor, 301 S. Main Street

April 2, Pontiac, 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.-- The Crofoot Ballroom,1 S. Saginaw Street

The RTA has a poll online to help accumulate data, too.
