Free Ride to the Polls was briefly addressed as DDOT is making sure Detroiters have an opportunity to vote on election day by providing free rides. ALL bus rides will be free on Tuesday, November 3 (polls will be open from 7am to 8pm)!

A new role, Transit Ambassadors are expected to be helpful. They do things to make transportation efforts more seamless by answering questions during DDOT encounters. This includes how to ride and navigate DDOT services, bus schedules/routes, sharing resources, and even attending outreach events.

Ayobami B Torrence of DDOT’s Outreach Team stated that shelters are being funded with a combination of Federal and State Grants and City General Funds, DDOT's goal is for 75% of passenger boardings to take place at sheltered stops as funding permits.

As a reminder, it was stated by Ms. Torrence that locations for new and replacement shelters are selected and prioritized based on DOT's Title VI program plan, which incorporates service standards for bus stop amenities. One of their propitiations is having a concentration of vulnerable users.

Happy Wednesday Detroit! Today I’ll be live-reporting Detroit Wayne Intergrated Health Network’s (DWIHN) Finance Committee meeting at 1:00pm for #DetDocumenters. @detdocumenters.bsky.social.

The finance committee is still going over Medicaid complications ahead. Staff expressed that the writing remains on their walls and what’s being depicted is “We’re broke!” Which was immediately addressed with, “PIHP is broke and CIHP is not” this is expected to potentially be a significant hurdle.

Meeting adjourned at 2:24pm, next finance committee meeting is Wednesday November 4th at 1:00pm. This concludes my coverage of DWIHN’s Finance Committee meeting. Be sure to attend if you’re interested in public comment or just listening in! For more meeting coverage check out Documenters.org

Public comments were welcomed at 2:18pm. One woman spoke in-person, she voiced that she filled out forms showing open and empty beds within her house providing services. This resident knows they’re needed and still does not get put on a list for DWIHN to notify participants of availabilities.

Here is a price breakdown with the minimum wage increase in mind for those receiving Medicaid (in reference to the $20 million highlighted). The yellow columns are what they deem promising. However, an overall $30 million range is considered.

Teaser - Multiple employees are worried about the decline in Wayne County residents eligible for Medicaid. Roughly 10% of Healthy Michigan’s Plan are touched out of around 90% so the presenter does not deem this to only impact DWIHN. Knowledge of if “retrospect” clients are included is to come.
