The City of Mar­i­on Trans­porta­tion Depart­ment is spread­ing kind­ness through the Mar­i­on Tran­sit Sys­tem through a cam­paign ini­ti­at­ed by a group of Cen­tral Indi­ana stu­dents called, ​“Just Be Kind.” On Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 18^th, Mar­i­on Tran­sit Dri­vers and staff will be wear­ing T‑shirts dis­play­ing the phrase, ​“Just Be Kind.” Begin­ning at 11am, there will be free cake and punch at the Down­town bus ter­mi­nal, extra T‑shirts will be raf­fled off, and suck­ers and more items will be giv­en away through­out the day.

Mar­i­on Trans­porta­tion Direc­tor Jeff Edwards was inspired by the cam­paign and pur­chased the shirts from the group of Plain­field stu­dents who have been sell­ing the shirts since 2015 to raise mon­ey for char­i­ties and oth­er endeav­ors. Their inten­tion is to spread a sim­ple pos­i­tive mes­sage to be kind to oth­ers, and that there is more good­ness in the world than not.

“We are hav­ing this event for one day, but every­one should be kind every day,” said Edwards also express­ing hope that the cam­paign will con­tin­ue in oth­er ways in more places.
