CATA will eliminate bus service to dozens of stops in Delta Township starting in January, leaving some residents without their primary means of transportation to essential services like grocery shopping.
- Starting January 12, CATA’s Route 3 extension west of Lansing Mall will discontinue service to about 30 stops
