History in Motion.

A 97-year-old bus with ties to REO Motors is getting an extreme makeover, a project led by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission.

This restoration is more than a facelift; it’s a chance to celebrate Lansing’s industrial past and reflect on the evolving role of regional transportation planning.
