SAGINAW, Mich.– Dow Credit Union and the Saginaw Transit Authority Regional Services (STARS) partnered to host “Money on the Move,” which offered free bus rides and hands-on financial education.

Added Jamie Forbes, director of external affairs with STARS, “We (had) free rides on all of our main bus routes. This is a big deal.”
