(wcrz.com) — Fenton’s successful free trolley, running May through December with strong ridership, is being used as a model as Davison leaders explore launching their own system. City officials there will meet with the Mass Transportation Authority in February, and Fenton’s experience—routes near apartments, reliable hours, and holiday light tours—is shaping the conversation about easier, car‑free travel in neighboring communities.
