In this episode of Muskegon County Municipalities at Work, host DJ Hilson sits down with Keith Townsend, a lifelong Muskegon resident and second-generation transit worker with the Muskegon Area Transit System (MATS). Townsend shares how MATS connects residents to jobs, schools, and essential services through fixed routes, ADA-compliant vehicles, and new on-demand “Go-2” ride services. He discusses modern tech upgrades like bus-tracking apps and QR-coded stops, explains fare options, and reflects on the vital role public transit plays in keeping Muskegon’s economy and community moving. The conversation highlights both civic pride and the importance of investing in reliable, accessible local transportation for all.
