What happens when employees can’t get to work reliably?

Join us for the final session of our four-part Chamber Forum Series as we tackle the role of transportation in workforce retention across Northwest Ottawa County.
For many workers, transportation is a make-or-break factor in job accessibility. This forum brings together transit leaders to explore local mobility challenges, evolving systems, and the strategies that could better connect our workforce to employment opportunities.
Featured Speakers for the December Forum on Transportation:
Scott Borg – Harbor Transit
Mike Milligan – Muskegon Area Transit System
Holly Severance - Shape Corp
Our speakers will share current initiatives, highlight gaps in the regional transit network, and open the floor for audience Q&A. Join the conversation—and help shape a more connected future for our workforce.
Enjoy complimentary coffee, juice, bagels, muffins, and fruit while networking with fellow community leaders and professionals.
