TRANSIT Until this fall, there was no bus service to Pavilion Estates, a large mobile home park east of Sprinkle Road. But with the help of Friends of Transit (founded by ISAAC & Disability Network Southwest Michigan), residents there gathered signatures and spoke to the Kalamazoo County Transportation Authority and Metro Transit. The residents of Pavilion Estates have had a shuttle to the closest bus ever since, and they are about to get regular bus service!

ISAAC welcomes two new staff members, Johnnie Berry, Community Organizer for Youth Violence & Drug Prevention initiatives, and Vanessa Miller, Community Organizer for Education & Early Childhood initiatives. Both are from the Kalamazoo area and have strong experience locally, working for a more just community. Come meet them March 29 at the ISAAC Banquet!
